Business Continuity Planning 11 (BCP)
Business Continuity Planning 11 (BCP) : "Business continuity planning involves ensuring that a business is sustainable through a period of significant business interruption caused by a disaster or any other unforeseen disruptive event. It is essential for all types of scenarios ranging from system or component failure caused by a software upgrade to a man-made or natural disaster that broadly impacts a firm's physical assets, buildings and/or people".
