Business Continuity Planning

The process of creating, testing, and maintaining an organization-wide plan to recover from any form of disaster is called Business Continuity Planning. Every BCP strategy includes three fundamental components:

• Risk assessment.

• Contingency planning.

• Disaster recovery process.

BCP should encompass every type of business interruption—from a minor short-lived power outage or spike, up to the worst possible natural disaster or terrorist attack.
