ABSTRACT

While the results of the survey are somewhat subjective,

they do have some value as indicators of trends.

A survey conducted between June 14 and 20, 1999, asked

the question: How often are your business continuity plans

reviewed? The total number of respondents to the question

was 1728. The results of the survey are shown in Fig. 1. This

is a good indication that organizations still have a strong

tendency to use static processes (i.e., cyclical) to review

their business continuity plans rather than build processes

to ensure maintenance of up-to-date plans as changes occur.
