Now that we've examined some of the reasons you should establish a business continuity plan (BCP), let's consider the best way to go about creating one.
What information should a BCP contain?
Scope - List everything the plan incorporates including employees, departments, hardware, resources, systems and infrastructure.
The plan leaders - Make clear which individuals are responsible for actioning its component parts.
Contingency systems and backups - Name substitute systems and hardware intended to take over in the event of failures.
External support providers - List vendors and service providers with up-to-date contact information.
