What is a Business Continuity Plan?

Business continuity planning is the formulation of a strategy that ensures safety and continuation of business activities post a tragedy or a disaster caused by theft, fire, cyber-attacks, and natural disasters, among others. Business continuity planning focuses on sustaining the business operations and processes even after the damage is done. It aims at making a plan combined with Information Technology in advance so that the business continues and doesn't end up becoming a liability for the company.
