Business Continuity Planning, commonly referred to as BCP, is the strategic framework that enables organizations to maintain critical operations during disruptions. BCP encompasses the identification of potential risks, the development of response strategies, and the implementation of recovery procedures. This essential discipline has evolved from a niche concern to a business imperative as organizations face increasingly complex operational threats.
The acronym BCP itself represents three distinct phases. The first phase involves planning, where organizations map critical business functions, identify single points of failure, and establish response protocols. The second phase centers on continuity, ensuring that essential services continue despite disruption. The third phase focuses on the planning process itself, creating living documents that adapt as business models and technology landscapes change.
