In today’s business landscape, virtually every organization relies heavily on information technology. Therefore, restoring information systems in the event of a disaster is an essential element of risk management, not just IT. At the same time, having IT systems recovered without restoring business operations is of little value. As such, a thorough business continuity plan goes beyond IT recovery, ensuring the overall survival of the business amid disruptions and re-establishing key business functions. Effective continuity planning should also address the potential loss of key individuals, disruption of customer or supplier operations, and failure of logistics providers. (17 pp., 6 fig.)
