The Good Practice Guidelines (2007) and the pocket guide follow the Business Continuity Management Life described in BS 25999-1.

GSSR00004: Societal Security: Standards on Preparedness and Continuity Management
ASIS International (ASIS), the largest organization for security professionals, has led the global effort in ISO standardization for incident preparedness and business continuity. The work of ISO/TC 223 recently produced an agreement on best practices known as ISO/PAS 22399:2007 Societal Security – Guideline for Incident Preparedness and Operational Continuity Management. It establishes a single globally recognized benchmark for public and private sector preparedness and continuity management.

GSEM00008: Emergency Management Accreditation Standard: A Framework for Assessing Regional Preparedness
The Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP) is a standard-based voluntary assessment and accreditation process for state/territorial, regional, tribal, and local government emergency management programs. EMAP combines self-assessment against national recognized standards; documentation of compliance; independent evaluation by trained professional emergency management assessors; and, for accreditation, committee and commission review, to provide:
- An evaluation of a jurisdiction’s emergency preparedness and response system against established national standards;
- A structure for identifying areas in need of improvement and benchmarking progress;
- A methodology for organizing strategic planning, corrective actions and accountability in prioritizing resources;
- A catalyst for improved interoperability and continuity; and
- Strengthened state/tribal, regional, territorial, and local preparedness

GSFM000010: Private Security Officer Selection and Training Guideline

Linking Business Resilience with Incentives: New U.S. Law Creates a Volunteer Certification Program for Corporate Preparedness
Legislation was signed into law on August 3, 2007 that requires the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide for the development of a private sector led voluntary certification program for all-hazards business emergency preparedness. This program is to be developed in consultation with key stakeholders reflecting existing best practices and standards. The program represents a significant opportunity to link preparedness activities by business with bottom-line market based incentives.

This directive establishes a comprehensive national policy on the continuity of Federal Government structures and operations and a single National Continuity Coordinator responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of Federal continuity policies. This policy establishes "National Essential Functions," prescribes continuity requirements for all executive departments and agencies, and provides guidance for State, local, territorial, and tribal governments, and private sector organizations in order to ensure a comprehensive and integrated national continuity program that will enhance the credibility of our national security posture and enable a more rapid and effective response to and recovery from a national emergency.
GSTI 000020: SS507:2008
In January 2008, the Singapore Standard for Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery Service Providers (SS507:2004) went international. This international standard can be used by both in-housed and outsourced service providers to build resilience into their ICT infrastructure critical to their key business activities. Singapore has since aligned her local standard SS507:2008 with ISO/IEC 24762:2008 in February this year. The difference between these two standards is that the Singapore Standard is a certifiable standard whilst the international standard is intended to be a guideline.
