This document outlines the key components and process for developing a business continuity plan (BCP). It discusses the benefits of having a BCP, including keeping businesses operating during incidents and reducing disruption costs. A typical BCP contains sections on governance, business impact analysis, continuity arrangements, readiness procedures, and quality assurance. The process involves developing questionnaires, conducting workshops, validating information, identifying resource needs, and developing recovery strategies, plans, and procedures. It also covers training, testing exercises, and updating the BCP based on lessons learned. When disruptions occur, the response involves incident management, communications, and operations management to continue critical services, followed by recovery and restoration efforts managed through an emergency operations center.
