What are Business Continuity Planning and Management?
Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Business Continuity Management (BCM) are essential parts of safeguarding an effective preparation for and reaction to emergency or disaster scenarios. In April 2009, the outbreak of Swine Flu again raised the need for adequate Business Continuity Planning and Management. Both involve developing advance business continuity arrangements and procedures that enable an organisation to respond to an event in a manner that allows business-critical functions to continue without interruption or essential change.
