The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is an essential part of any organisation’s response planning. It sets out how the business will operate following an incident and how it expects to return to ‘business as usual’ in the quickest possible time afterwards.
Business continuity planning involves
developing a practical plan for
how your business can prepare for, and
continue to operate after an
incident or crisis. A business continuity plan will help you to:
identify and
prevent
risks where possible
prepare for risks
that you can't
control
respond and recover if a risk (e.g.
an incident or crisis) occurs.
