Business Continuity Planning. Business Continuity Planning (BCP) refers to a program that provides for the continued availability of critical services and assets, and of other services and assets when warranted by a Threat and Risk Assessment (TRA).
A broad approach to planning for the recovery of an enterprise's entire business process in event of a massive disruption caused by catastrophic event (such as a natural disaster or terrorist attack). BCP includes plans for work facilities, telephone service, workstations, servers, applications, network connections and any other resources required for the continuity of business operations - as well as processes for communicating critical information to enterprise personnel, and steps to address their safety and welfare. The term is often used interchangeably with "disaster recovery planning" (DRP); however, the latter term is more commonly associated with IT system recovery alone, without the broader business context. See DRP.
