Lumesse, Europe’s leading independent provider of talent management solutions, is pleased to announce that it has been successfully certified against the important BS25999 standard for business continuity management. BS25999, which is expected to be accepted as a new global ISO standard (ISO22301) in 2012, has been developed by a broad-based group of global experts representing a cross-section of industry sectors and government to establish the process, principles and terminology of business continuity management.

The certification adds to the ISO27001 Information Security standard certification won by Lumesse in 2011, and underlines the company's public commitment to the highest levels of security and reliability in its business and technical operations.

"Our global customers trust us to deliver vital business solutions and services in talent management, and we've invested heavily in our global datacentres, SaaS infrastructure, people and processes to ensure we can give them peace of mind in areas such as information security, service reliability and business continuity, " said Lumesse CEO, Matthew Parker. "We've chosen to be audited and certified to challenging global standards such as ISO27001 and BS25999 as a public demonstration of our commitment to being the only global company making talent management work locally."

A business continuity management (BCM) system is designed to protect and recover business operations during the most challenging and unexpected circumstances - protecting people, facilities and processes and ensuring the ability to continue to operate, or to quickly recover operations, in the event of serious external issues. The business continuity management system operated by Lumesse to BS25999 covers all critical business operations needed for Lumesse TalentLink and Lumesse ETWeb service provisioning, including datacentre facilities, disaster recovery, staff and visitor security, communications, support, and business processes.
