Business continuity plan (BCP)
The business continuity plan (BCP) covers and defines the measures to be taken to maintain and continue a company’s activities in the face of potential threats. It demonstrates that the company’s operations can be maintained in the event of an incident.
Key takeaways
- The BCP defines the measures that keep the company’s operations running in the event of an incident.
- It identifies risks: natural disasters, cyberattacks, fraud, and more.
- It assesses, protects, verifies and is reviewed regularly.
- The chosen BCP may require adjustments to the DRP.
Identifying risks
To do this, the BCP must identify and highlight all the risks that could affect the company’s activities. Risks may include natural disasters, cyberattacks or fraud.
The measures set out in the plan
Once the risks have been identified, the plan:
Assess the impact of risks on operations
Apply the appropriate protections
Verify that the measures work
Review the process to keep it up to date
- assesses to what extent the risks will affect operations;
- applies the appropriate protection solutions and processes to mitigate the risks;
- defines verification procedures to ensure that these measures work;
- reviews the process to ensure it is up to date.
This is done in several stages. This methodical work is essential, but very often long and tedious.
We support you
We support you in defining and implementing your BCP. We provide our technical perspective and feasibility indicators, and we set out the essential prerequisites for developing a robust, viable BCP.
Please note: sometimes the chosen BCP requires adjustments to the DRP. We can support you on both the theoretical and technical aspects (for more information, see our Disaster recovery plan – DRP page).
