 ISO/IEC 27031:2011: Information technology - Security techniques - Guidelines for information and communication technology readiness for business continuity, gives advice that will be useful for all types of security-conscious organizations, regardless of their size, complexity and risks.
Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become an integral part of the critical infrastructure in all sectors, whether public, private or voluntary. The proliferation of networking services, and the capabilities of systems and applications, has also meant that organizations are ever more reliant on safe and secure ICT infrastructures. Failure of these systems will impact the continuity of business operations.

FSA fine for the loss of personal data |

 The UK insurance arm of Zurich Financial Services has been fined a record £2.275m for losing the personal details of 46,000 customers, including in some cases bank account and credit card information.
The fine, the highest ever paid by a single UK company for a data protection failing, stems from an August 2008 incident in which an outsourcing company in South Africa lost an unencrypted back up data tape, the Financial Services Authority said on Tuesday.
Zurich UK did not learn of the loss until a year later because of monitoring failures, the FSA said. At that point, senior managers informed the FSA and customers were told of the problem in October 2009.
Margaret Cole, the FSA's director of enforcement and financial crime, said in a statement: "Zurich UK let its customers down badly. It failed to oversee the outsourcing arrangement effectively and did not have full control over the data."
