BCP and DRP

Running a successful business requires a lot of planning. Two of the most important aspects are BCP, business continuity planning, and DRP, disaster recovery planning. While they are related, they have separate goals. If your organization lacks a business continuity plan or a disaster recovery plan, or your existing strategies do not support each other in critical ways, it can lead to serious challenges should you face a disaster. Our BCP and DRP services can help alleviate that challenge. Contact us to learn more.

What Is BCP?

BCP, also called business continuity planning, is a vital consideration for ensuring that you are able to maintain business operations even I the face of a disaster, whether natural or manmade. This plan deals with specific elements, including what location will be used to resume business operations, or what tools and processes your organization will use after a disaster has struck.

What Is DRP?

DRP, also called disaster recovery planning, deals with another side of the same coin. With this type of planning, you will specify how normal business operations will be restored after a disaster. This can include how you will access business-owned data or applications, how your facilities will be brought back online, and a great deal more.

How Do They Work Together?

BCP and DRP both require dedicated teams that address different problems that are related to the same event – whatever disaster has befallen your business. The BCP team will focus on things like implementing contingency plans and shifting operations to alternative locations or systems. During the same time, the DRP team will focus on restoring your original systems or location to working order to ensure you’re able to resume normal operations in as short a time as possible.

However, bringing these two plans together can be challenging. Creating effective business continuity and disaster recovery plans in the first place can be more than many organizations can handle successfully. It requires an understanding of not only key processes within your business, but knowledge of how those processes should be prioritized in the event of a disaster, alternative systems and locations for use immediately following a disaster, a strategy that defines recovery objectives during and after a disaster, and a great deal more.
