Frequently Asked Questions
According to ISO22301, the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems, Business Continuity provides a framework for organizations to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain, and continually improve a documented management system to protect against, reduce the likelihood of, and ensure recovery from disruptive incidents.
A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is a comprehensive strategy that outlines the procedures and processes an organization will follow to ensure that essential business functions continue during and after a disruption, such as a natural disaster, cyberattack, power outage, or other crises. The primary aim of a BCP is to minimize downtime, protect critical assets, and ensure that the organization can recover quickly and continue operating.
A BCP is typically comprised of the following elements:
- Risk Assessment: The process of identifying potential threats or hazards that could disrupt the business, such as natural disasters, technological failures, or supply chain issues.
- Business Impact Analysis (BIA): The process of analyzing and prioritizing business functions and processes to determine which are most critical to the organization’s survival and success. It also identifies the potential financial, operational, and reputational impacts of disruptions.
- Recovery Strategies: The plans for how to continue or quickly resume essential services and operations in the event of a disruption. This may involve setting up alternative facilities, securing backup resources, or having predefined contracts with suppliers for emergency situations.
- Incident Response Plan: The specific processes and procedures to follow in the event of a disaster or crisis, including how to assess the situation, how to protect employees, and how to manage immediate operational challenges.
- Crisis Communications: Plans in place for ensuring clear, timely, and effective communication with all stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, investors, and regulatory bodies, during and after a crisis.
- Testing Protocols: Plans for regularly testing against potential disaster scenarios to ensure that the plan is effective and that employees can execute it smoothly when a real disaster occurs.
A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is a critical process within business continuity planning and disaster recovery that helps organizations assess the potential consequences of disruptions to business operations. The BIA identifies and evaluates the effects of various types of disruptions, such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, equipment failures, or other crises and prioritizes the recovery of critical business functions.
A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is a critical step in your business continuity efforts because it enables faster decision-making in the moments that matter, decreasing downtime, enabling faster communication with key stakeholders, and improving the overall resilience of your operations.
