ABSTRACT

The business continuity planning (BCP) and disaster recovery planning (DRP) domain addresses the preparation, processes, and practices required to ensure the preservation of the business in the face of major disruptions to normal business operations. BCP and DRP involve the identification, selection, implementation, testing, and updating of processes and specific actions necessary to prudently protect critical business processes from the effects of major system and network disruptions and to ensure the timely restoration of business operations if significant disruptions occur.
