Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery: Why You Need a Plan
Business continuity or continuance planning is the development of a plan to help you prepare for, and continue operating after, a crisis or incident.
Having an emergency plan in place for your business to prepare for and recover after an incident or crisis can help you:
- Identify possible risks and situations that may arise;
- Prepare yourself for risks that are outside of your control; and
- Respond to and recover should an incident or crisis occur.
Although you can never predict every kind of crisis or incident that might threaten your business, you can identify the main ones and put plans in place for those.
Your business continuity plan should be reviewed annually to ensure it stays relevant and updated.
