Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is the process of implementing policies, controls, and
procedures to counteract the effects of losses, outages, or failures of critical business pro-
cesses. BCP is primarily a management tool that ensures that critical business functions
(CBF) can be performed when normal business operations are disrupted.
Critical business functions refer to those processes or systems that must be made opera-
tional immediately when an outage occurs. The business can’t function without them, and
many are information intensive and require access to both technology and data.
Two of the key components of BCP are Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and risk assess-
ment. BIA is concerned with evaluating the processes, and risk assessment is concerned
with evaluating the risk or likelihood of a loss. Evaluating all the processes in an organiza-
tion or enterprise is necessary in order for BCP to be effective.
