Business Continuity Plan (BCP)

Generally speaking the Business continuity plan is a complex of measures aimed to reduce adverse consequences of emergency situation (the act of God, fire, power outages, etc.) for the business allowing recovery of technological and business processes in the shortest possible time.

Researches show that absence of worked-out measures on business continuity leads to increase of financial losses connected to emergency and in some cases can even lead to long financial crisis, seriously affect the company reputation and business as a whole. Despite the desire to minimize financial risks, some organizations can also be forced to establish business continuity plan due to legal requirements and recommendations of industry regulatory bodies.

With the development of information technologies successful implementation of business processes depends on IT systems and IT infrastructure used in it. Consequently, creation of IT infrastructure ensuring high availability and minimum period of application and data recovery is one of the cornerstones of the business continuity plan.
