A critical element of a company’s security program is the establishment and maintenance of a comprehensive business continuity plan (BCP) that covers the restoration of both technology and business operations in the event of an unplanned event.
The planning process for the BCP should include risk analysis, business impact analysis, recovery strategies for different scenarios including geographic/regional events, pandemics, natural disasters (e.g., tornado, hurricane, flooding, fire, power outage) and security breaches.
