Business Continuity Planning

What is Business Continuity Planning?

Business continuity planning (BCP) is the process involved in creating a system of prevention and recovery from potential threats to a company. The plan ensures that personnel and assets are protected and are able to function quickly in the event of a disaster.

The cornerstone of a Business Continuity plan is the business impact analysis (BIA), a method for analyzing how disruptions may impact an organization. The analysis considers the timescales of a disruption, as well as its intensity, and looks at the resulting impacts on important products and services; and the processes and activities that support them. 

A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) will allow you to identify critical business functions and predict the consequences a disruption of one of those functions would have.  It also allows us to gather information needed to develop recovery strategies and limit the potential loss. 

Business Continuity Planning with Z Horse:

  • Identify which financial, operational, reputation, or other losses the organization may suffer due to the unavailability of its operations or critical resources.
  • Establish the cumulative amounts of losses from the organization’s various assets or processes.
  • Manage the critical variables of recovery point objective (RPO), recovery time objective (RTO), and others needed to define the process continuity and technology recovery needs.
  • Define which critical resources are needed for executing the organization’s processes and their dependencies.
  • Understand which processes are most critical for business continuity.
  • Maintain a record of interruptions that take place in the organization.
