A business continuity plan (BCP) sets out how an organisation will keep its critical activities running — and recover quickly — when faced with disruption such as IT outages, facility loss, supplier failure or civil contingency events. Consultants begin by identifying truly critical processes and dependencies, setting recovery time objectives, and assessing current resilience. They then design practical response procedures, communication trees, alternative sites or systems, and align the plan with risk and IT disaster-recovery frameworks. Regular testing and updates are built in so the plan stays usable. A robust BCP reduces downtime, protects revenue and reputation, and demonstrates to regulators and customers that the organisation can operate through shocks.
