Why Does Your Company Need a BCP

Having a good contingency plan ensure you that downtime is limited to the minimum amount of time needed to get it back up and running. Protection of data is the other aspect of this. You must make sure that your customers’ data is safe and secure and it usually involves putting it in a remote location or a SkyDrive outside of your location in which the disaster occurred.

1. Alternative communications plan – Try to imagine all of the possible scenarios and plan for a way to continue to communicate if all of your landline communications devices are down. Cell Phones will still work as long as your service is not interrupted but make sure you keep your battery charged.
2. Alternate operations site – You should have an alternate site if possible so that you could conduct business operations there in the event you cannot operate in your main building. Plan for a few months and make sure you could run your central operations from another location if the need arose.
3. Essential equipment/services blog – You should also plan for using email, web servers, and other essential equipment that is required to keep your business running.
4. Recovery phase – During the recovery phase, you will need to have a plan in place that will help your business get back to normal as soon as possible.
