Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is the process of creating a system of prevention and recovery to deal with potential threats to a company's operations. It is an important part of risk management and involves identifying potential risks, developing strategies to mitigate or prevent them, and developing plans to ensure the continuity of operations in the event of a disruption.
