  • What is a BCP?
    A management approved document describing systems and processes to prevent and recover from potential threats to an organisation, to ensure personnel and organisational assets are not only protected but able to function in the event of a disaster.
  • Is a BCP the same as a BC/DR Plan?
    No. A BCP addresses planning and is a component of a BC/DR Plan. The ‘Disaster Recovery’ (DR) portion of the plan addresses how to recover data and records in the event of a disaster. Often, the BCP and DR are combined into one document (BC/DR) for convenience and completeness.
  • Does my organisation need a BCP or BC/DR Plan?
    Yes. Organizations should have an approved plan in place to ensure data integrity and patient safety, regardless of an organisation’s size.
  • What should be included in a BCP or BC/DR Plan?
    A BCP should include the organsation’s approach to ensuring business operations can and will continue in the event of a threat, regardless of size. This includes, but in not limited to: Responsible personnel and contact information Computerised systems and data restoration timelines Alternate methods to conduct work processes if the facility is not usable Strategies to recover and restore systems and data to continue work activities Methods and processes to deploy in response to potential threats (e.g., network outage, equipment failure, weather related event, outbreak/epidemic/pandemic, governmental action, protests) Requirements for periodic review and testing to ensure procedures are comprehensive, feasible and effective
