Key Phases of Business Continuity Planning Business Impact Analysis: Recovery from Disruption Framework for Continuity Risk Assessment Process

The disruption COVID-19 caused has made businesses more aware of the importance of business continuity planning (BCP) for effective disruption-related preparation, response and recovery.

Although the term "business continuity" is often used as a synonym for IT Disaster recovery (DR), business continuity planning extends well beyond technology-related disruptions.

Businesses that do not effectively prepare for potential business disruptions are exposed to substantial loss of life, assets, revenues and reputation and may even fail to survive the disruption.

This document serves as a guide for business continuity planning (BCP) as part of holistic business continuity management (BCM) program.
