A business continuity planning (BCP) and disaster recovery plan (DRP) are critical for companies’ responsiveness and ability to recover after interruptions in normal business functions. To ensure that all planning has taken place, the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) require a specific set of requirements to be reviewed and implemented. Here are the main steps for creating a sound, logical business case and detailed requirements document (BCP/DRP):

• Define Project Scope;
• Business Impact Analysis;
• Identify Preventive Controls;
• Recovery Strategy;
• Plan Design and Development;
• Implementation, Training, and Testing;
• BCP/DRP Maintenance.

A business continuity plan (BCP) is something that all businesses should have in place. This plan ensures that your enterprise will be able to continue running in the event of a significant disruption. A solid BCP will first outline the functions of your business and denote the systems which must be kept intact for the business to run. Next, a BCP should present a plan on how these systems will be maintained during a disruption.
