Business Continuity Planning is a vitally important practice that prepares organizations for incidents that could impair their ability to operate, as a result of temporary or permanent loss of infrastructure, critical staff, software, and vital records.
These incidents may include fire, hurricane, tornado, flood, earthquake, terrorist activity, pandemic flu, or other situations that may impede a company's ability to access key offices or facilities for an extended period. The ability to identify, prioritize and respond to such an incident is critical for preventing the potential for large financial losses and damage to reputation.
