Business continuity planning (BCP)

Introduction
A completed BCP cycle results in a formal printed manual available for reference before,
during, and after disruptions have occurred. Its purpose is to reduce adverse stakeholder
impacts determined by both the disruption's scope (who and what it affects) and duration
(how bad, implications last for hours, months etc). Measurable business impact analysis
(BIA) "zones" (areas in which hazards and threats reside) include civil, economic,
natural, technical, secondary and subsequent. 
 
For the purposes of this article, the term disaster will be used to represent natural disaster,
human-made disaster, and disruptions.
