What is a Business Continuity Plan (BCP)?
A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is a strategic framework that outlines how an organization will continue operating during and after a disruption. It focuses on maintaining Critical Business Processes (CBP) and minimizing operational impact.
BCP is developed through Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and considers factors such as Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD) and Recovery objectives.
What is a Business Continuity Plan used for?
BCP is used to ensure that essential operations can continue despite incidents such as cyber attacks, system failures, or natural disasters. It supports organizational resilience and risk management.
Organizations use BCP alongside Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) to align recovery strategies with Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
