BSI Standard 200-4 focuses on establishing and maintaining an effective Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), providing a structured methodology for organizations to ensure critical business processes remain functional during and after a crisis. It replaces the older 100-4 version and introduces a three-stage implementation model—Reactive, Build-up, and Standard—allowing entities to scale their emergency management based on their specific needs and resources. This standard is designed to be fully compatible with ISO 22301, the international benchmark for business continuity, and it mirrors the structured resilience and recovery planning principles found in NIST SP 800-34, which covers contingency planning for information technology systems.
