The Foundation of Business Continuity

In our construction analogy, the foundation consists of the following:

  • Policies
  • those things mandated by management of an organization that will always be performed according to a preset design plan, and supporting all business functions within an organization.
  • Guidelines
  • those things which are recommended to be performed according to a preset design plan. However depending upon the needs and requirements of the target business function, these items may or may not be performed, or may be altered during implementations.
  • Standards
  • consists of the technical specifications for the implementation of all business functions, and are derived from the Policies and Guidelines.
  • Procedures
  • the step-by-step instructions for the implementation of organizational Standards as applied to any business function.
