Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is a well thought out, well defined and documented methodology for how a business will recover and restore critical technology and business functions that have been interrupted within a predetermined time, after a disaster, such as a fire or flood, or another extended business interruption that can reasonably be anticipated.

A Business Continuity Plan exists then to reduce business and operational risk. This plan may be integrated with one's improving IT security and risk management practices as well.

“Disasters” can range from a brief power outage to a hurricane, fire or flood that shuts down your infrastructure for weeks or months.  Experience has shown that for small businesses the impacts of such events can be far more damaging than for larger companies with a distributed infrastructure.
