What is BCP?
Business continuity planning (BCP) is an important business process that helps organisations prepare for and respond to unexpected disruptions to business operations and critical functions that could occur due to human resource disasters, natural disasters, data loss, cyber-attacks or other unforeseen events.
Business continuity planning or business continuity management enable businesses to identify critical functions, prevent or minimise losses, reduce downtime, and quickly resume operations in the event of a crisis. The goal of any business continuity plan is to ensure that the organisation can continue its essential functions while minimising disruption to customers and stakeholders as a result of pro-active risk management.
Business continuity plans (BCPs) and disaster recovery plans have many similarities, but they have different focuses.
BCPs are a broad approach that looks at the entire organization's operations, including customer service and supply chain management, with the goal of reducing overall costs and losses.
Disaster recovery plans, on the other hand, concentrate exclusively on technology-related downtimes and associated expenses. They are usually managed by IT personnel who create and maintain their policy. In addition to IT personnel trained in these procedures, BCPs require more people to be familiar with potential processes in order to be effective.
The four pillars of a Business Continuity Plan are:
1) BCP Risk assessment and analysis
Risk assessment and analysis involves identifying potential risks and potential threats that could affect the organisation’s operations. This includes threats to infrastructure, human resources, business processes or data as well as natural disasters. Organisations should also review relevant regulations and standards related to their industry when developing a Business Continuity Plan or Disaster Recovery Plan.
2) Business continuity strategies and plans:
A comprehensive Business Continuity Plan should include steps on how the organisation can prepare for an emergency, or business disruption and recover from it. It should also include business impact analysis, risk assessments, and detailed business continuity management plans on how the organisation will maintain key operations, access to important data, critical business functions and services during and after an unexpected event or disruption using contingency plans. When developing a Business Continuity Plan, organisations should consider their specific needs when creating their business continuity management plan that should ideally be applicable to various departments. This means taking into account business impact analysis, the size and type of the business, work environment, resiliency against different scenarios impact of data loss, its industry, its geographic location, and other factors that could affect its operations.
3) BCP testing and exercises:
Changing technologies and processes in a business can affect the company’s business processes, business continuity and operations. So regular testing of business continuity plans is crucial. Business continuity plan testing should be carried out using tabletop activities, walkthroughs, practice communication, crisis management and emergency scenarios to check plan viability and evaluate employee reaction. Having a good business continuity plan and disaster recovery plan often require good tools.
4) BCP Maintenance and review:
The success of any business continuity plan or disaster recovery plan relies heavily on the commitment of senior management to ensure that the plan is properly implemented and maintained. Therefore, it is essential for businesses to make sure their senior staff and key staff are involved and understand the importance of risk management and having a BCP in place. Having a well-thought-out and tested business continuity plan can help organisations continue with their business processes and prevent or minimise losses when unexpected disruptions occur and continue operating.
