    What is Business Continuity

    -

    Consists of the activities performed on a daily basis to ensure the business operates normally today, tomorrow, and beyond. Business continuity is sometimes confused with disaster recovery, but they are separate entities. Disaster recovery is a small subset of business continuity. The business continuity plan may be thought of as a methodology, or as an enterprise wide mentality of conducting day-to-day business.

    The components of the business continuity plan and methodology are:

    • Policies - those things that shall be done
    • Guidelines - those things that should be done
    • Standards - technical specifications derived from policies and guidelines
    • Procedures - step-by-step instructions for implementation of standards
    • Resource planning and deployment
    • Organizational Structure
    • Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
    • Security Management
    • Document Management
    • Change Management
    • Audit Management
    • Service Level Agreements
