CHAPTER SUMMARY

This chapter covered the details on BCPs. The primary purpose of a BCP is to ensure that an organization can continue to operate after a disruption or disaster. The BCP includes details on the CBFs, including what needs to be done to keep them operating. Many individuals and teams share responsibilities. The BCP program manager oversees all BCPs, and the BCP coordinator manages one or more BCPs. Multiple teams with individual team leads also provide support to the BCP coordinator during development and implementation of a BCP.

A BCP has three primary phases. In the notification and activation phase, the BCP coordinator initiates the activity; in the recovery phase, critical systems are recovered and restored; and in the reconstitution phase, normal operations are restored when the disaster has passed. All BCP team members and leads should be trained on the BCP, and it should be tested and exercises done to ensure its completeness. The BCP coordinator is responsible for regularly updating the BCP, which includes regular updates and additional ones when warranted.
