What is Business Continuity Planning?
Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is the act of anticipating incidents which will affect mission critical functions and processes for the company and ensuring that the business responds to any incident in a planned and rehearsed manner.
BCP provides for the continuation of critical services regardless of any event. It is not just about disaster recovery, crisis management, risk management or Information Technology (IT).
It is a business issue.
It presents you with an opportunity to review the way your organization performs its processes, to improve procedures and practices and increase resilience to interruption and loss.
Continuity planning and operations are part of a Comprehensive Emergency Management Program.
