Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
The business continuity plan (BCP) sets out and defines the measures to be taken to preserve 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…
- 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 determine and highlight all the risks likely to 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 the extent to which the risks will affect operations;
- applies the appropriate protection solutions and processes to mitigate the risks;
- defines verification procedures to ensure these measures work;
- reviews the process to ensure it remains up to date.
This is done in several stages. This methodical work is essential, but very often lengthy and tedious.
