Business Continuity Planning

What is business continuity planning?

Business continuity planning is the process of outlining how a business will operate during an emergency. It identifies the critical business functions that must quickly resume, how resuming those functions will be achieved, and who is responsible for ensuring this happens in the event of an unexpected emergency or disaster.
