A Business Continuity Plan is implemented to ensure critical business functions can continue during and after a disaster. Disasters like fires, floods, power outages, and cyber attacks can interrupt business operations and cause lost revenue, loss of key staff, and service breakdowns. The plan identifies key departments like sales, customer support, and billing that need to operate, as well as necessary elements like location, staffing, and equipment. It includes IT strategies for post-failure procedures, a Disaster Recovery Plan to maintain business services at an alternate location, and a Business Recovery Plan to implement recovery of critical functions and processes. A Business Impact Analysis is also conducted to predict consequences and gather information needed to create recovery strategies.
