A business continuity plan is a more comprehensive plan than a disaster recovery plan.
A disaster recovery plan lays the foundation of how a business will resume operations after a disruptive event occurs.
The event may be anything from a large natural disaster to a computer virus.
To be more specific, a business continuity plan outlines the steps taken when a disaster occurs.
If a new type of potential disaster surfaces, management adjusts the plan to better reflect this.
For many businesses, the focus is on supply chain logistics to ensure necessary supplies reach the business in the event of a disaster.
If a manufacturing company loses power due to a natural disaster, the plan will outline steps to restore critical function to the location.
A business without this type of planning may suffer extensively in the event that a natural disaster occurs or the top management personnel are in an accident.
