A Business Continuity Program (BCP) is a comprehensive plan for maintaining and recovering critical business operations in the event of an emergency or disaster. It outlines strategies for responding to and recovering from disruptions to normal business operations, including natural disasters, power outages, cyber-attacks, and other unexpected events. The goal of a BCP is to ensure that the organization can continue to operate and provide essential services to customers, stakeholders, and the public.
