An organization experienced a loss of revenue during a recent disaster. Which of the following would BEST prepare the organization to recover?
A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is the best preparation for an organization to recover after experiencing a loss of revenue during a disaster. A BCP includes comprehensive strategies to ensure essential business functions continue during and after a disaster. It encompasses all aspects of keeping the business operational, unlike a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), which focuses primarily on the IT components, or a Business Impact Analysis (BIA), which assesses critical functions but does not provide an actionable recovery plan. An Incident Response Plan deals specifically with handling incidents and ensuring immediate stabilization, not ongoing business functionality. Therefore, a BCP is the most effective choice.
BIA is a preparatory step that identifies which business processes are essential, their dependencies and the potential impact of a disruption to those processes. The BIA itself does not include strategies or actions for recovery. In contrast, a BCP uses the insights gained from a BIA to develop plans to ensure the business can continue operating during and recover after a disaster. In this scenario, a BCP would have been most helpful.
BIA is part of designing BCP.
