Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) includes and defines the measures to be taken to maintain and continue a company’s operations in the face of potential threats. The plan certifies that the company’s operations can be maintained in the event of an incident.
To achieve this, the BCP must identify and highlight all the risks likely to affect the company’s tasks. Risks may include natural disasters, cyber-attacks or fraud. Once the risks have been identified, the plan:
– Evaluates the extent to which the risks will affect operations
– Applies appropriate protection solutions and processes to mitigate the risks
– Defines verification procedures to ensure that these measures are working
– Reviews the process to ensure it is up to date
This is done in several stages. This methodological work is vital, but very often long and tedious.
We support you in defining and implementing your BCP. We’ll provide you with our technical expertise and feasibility clues, and show you the essential prerequisites for developing a solid, viable BCP.
PLEASE NOTE: In some cases, the chosen BCP may require adjustments to the DRP. We can help you with both the theoretical and technical aspects (for more information, please refer to the Business Resumption Plan section).
