Explanation
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) are directly tied to the Availability pillar of the CIA triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability). BCDR planning ensures that systems, data, and services remain accessible - or can be rapidly restored to accessibility - in the event of a disruption, disaster, or outage. Fault tolerance (C) is a related technical concept (systems continuing to operate despite component failures), but it is a mechanism that supports availability rather than a high-level security concept. BCDR does not primarily address Confidentiality (A, protecting data from unauthorized disclosure) or Integrity (D, ensuring data is not tampered with).
