A business continuity plan (BCP) outlines a set of preventive and recovery actions to be undertaken in the event of an incident. While BCPs traditionally covered incidents such as extreme weather conditions, fires, natural disasters, and disease outbreaks, cyberattacks are now also a major focus.
BCPs typically focus on:
- Business processes
- Assets
- Human resources
- Business partners/suppliers/third-party vendors
