If some type of disruption occurred to your business, whether it be a power outage, fire or flood, would you know how to continue business until recovery is accomplished? If you currently do not have a plan to follow, it is crucial to your company's future to invest the time in developing a Business Continuity Plan (BCP). A BCP will improve the chances of continuing operations during or after a minor or major disaster. In fact, businesses that recover quickly are those that have planned in advance. A BCP is the answer to the unexpected business interruption.
A key component of the BCP is an inventory of business assets. This would include such information as description, model, serial number, purchase or lease date, and manufacturer. Photos and video of these assets would also be taken.
Other key components of the BCP include: document internal key personnel and backups, identify who can telecommute, document external contacts, identify critical documents and identify your contingency location.
