Business Continuity Plan / Disaster Recovery Plan

A Business Continuity Plan / Disaster Recovery Plan aims to ensure that an organisation’s critical business functions can continue to be executed in the event of a major disruption or disaster. The organisation is more resilient, survives the event and is able to minimize the impacts on its business operations.

 

When Business Continuity Plan / Disaster Recovery Plan provisions are inadequate, leading to in the non-availability of critical resources even for a short time, the result can be major impacts being felt by the organisation. Examples are financial losses, loss of control of core business processes, an inability to carry on operations, legal and regulatory consequences, and damage to reputation and credibility.

Business Continuity Plan / Disaster Recovery Plan – Key Components

Business Impact Analysis

The Business Impact Analysis [BIA] is the fundamental building-block for a Business Continuity Plan / Disaster Recovery Plan. It is a whole-of-business analysis that serves as a high-level Business Requirement Statement for the organisation. It identifies critical resources and functions and the timeframes in which these must be restored following a disruption. It enables Heads of Department and Senior Executives to approve a specific requirement statement for the organisation. This then allows realistic consideration of Business Recovery Strategies.

Business Recovery Strategy Development

Business Recovery Strategy Development involves identifying the most cost-effective means to ensure that the organisation can continue to execute its critical functions following a major disruption or disaster. As with the BIA it requires the approval of Senior Executive Management.

Business Continuity Plan / Disaster Recovery Plan Development

The BCP/DRP is a written document that is approved by the Board of Directors and/or Senior Executive Management. It is a plan that contains the information and describes the procedures necessary to enable the organisation to manage a major disruption or disaster and resume critical business functions within the required pre-determined time.

Corporate Governance

The ultimate responsibility for the Business Continuity Plan / Disaster Recovery Plan rests with the Board of Directors and/or Senior Executive Management. Business Continuity Management is a Corporate Governance issue. In some industry sectors compliance with Prudential Standards is an essential consideration.

Methodology

The use of correct methodology is critical to success. The following diagram provides a high-level view of how to approach the development of a Business Continuity Plan / Disaster Recovery Plan.
