What is Business Continuity Planning (BCP)?
A proactive process that identifies and prioritizes the critical functions and the likely threats to
those functions. From this information, plans and procedures are developed through a regular
program of personnel training, plan testing, and maintenance. These management disciplines,
processes, and techniques provide business continuity for critical business functions under the
circumstances and limits set by senior management.
These circumstances and limits include:
 Defining worst-case scenarios used for business continuity planning.
 Approving the funding and staffing of the company's BCP Program.

continuity planning process, which includes:

 Allocating knowledgeable personnel and sufficient financial resources to properly implement the BCP;
 Ensuring that the BCP is reviewed and approved at least annually;
 Ensuring employees are trained and aware of their roles in the implementation of the BCP;
 Ensuring the BCP is regularly tested;
 Reviewing the BCP testing program and test results on a regular basis; and
 Ensuring the BCP is continually updated to reflect the current operating environment.
