CMI's ninth report on Business Continuity Management since 1999 reveals that many UK organisations recognise a need to guard against disruption and face increasing pressure to do so.

Supported by the Cabinet Office, the survey also shows that only 47 per cent of organisations across the UK have a business continuity plan (BCP) – a figure that has barely changed since 2002 (45 per cent).  Major differences also exist between organisation types, with BCPs most apparent in the public sector (62 per cent) and amongst listed companies (55 per cent), compared to only 40 per cent of private and voluntary organisations.
