Purpose and five components
BCP plans resumption, recovery and restoration after sudden or gradual disruptions; BCMS is the management system for creating and improving those plans. Begin with risk identification, analysis and evaluation, then analyse impacts over time, prioritised activities, recovery-time objectives, dependencies and resources.
Strategies, documented plans and exercises
Use risk and impact findings to select continuity strategies and solutions. Document action steps, consolidate earlier analysis and test/exercise the completed plan. The official page retains learning videos, quiz, 2022 webinar and published BCMS standards presentation.
