Business Continuity Plan (BCP)

What is a Business Continuity Plan?

A documented strategy for how your business will continue operating during disruptions (e.g. power outages, cyber incidents, supplier failures, natural disasters).

Think of it like this…

Your company’s emergency playbook for staying open when things go wrong.

Why does it matter?

Reduces downtime, revenue loss, and operational chaos during a crisis
Builds customer and investor confidence
May be required for regulatory compliance in certain industries

Best practice

Review and update your BCP annually and test it with real‑world scenarios.
