Business continuity planning prepares a company to maintain or restore critical activities after a disruption. The plan should reflect actual dependencies on people, systems, suppliers and facilities.
Identify essential services and the consequences of different interruption lengths. Define recovery priorities, communication responsibilities and alternative ways to work. Confirm access to the records and resources needed during an incident.
Exercise the plan and record what failed or remained unclear. Update contact details and dependencies as the business changes. A written document that has not been tested may provide less protection than its appearance suggests.
