What is a business continuity plan (BCP?)
A business continuity plan (BCP) is a document that consists of the critical information an
organization needs to continue operating during an unplanned event. The BCP states the essential
functions of the business, identifies which systems and processes must be sustained, and details how
to maintain them. It should consider any possible business disruption. A BCP covers risks including
cyber-attacks, pandemics, natural disasters and human error. The array of possible risks makes it
vital for an organization to have a business continuity plan to preserve its health and reputation. A
proper BCP decreases the chance of a costly power outage or IT outage.
Business continuity planning is a proactive business process that lets a company understand
potential threats, vulnerabilities and weaknesses to its organization in times of crisis. The creation of
a business continuity program ensures company leaders can react quickly and efficiently to business
interruption. A BCP enables a company to continue to serve customers during a crisis and minimize
the likelihood of customers going to competitors. These plans decrease business downtime and
outline the steps to be taken -- before, during and after an emergency -- to maintain the company's
financial viability.
