Explanation

The correct BCDR planning sequence is: (1) Define scope - establish what systems, processes, and locations the plan covers; (2) Gather requirements - identify RTOs, RPOs, dependencies, and stakeholder needs; (3) Assess risk - evaluate threats, vulnerabilities, and their business impact to inform recovery priorities; (4) Implement - build, test, and deploy the actual recovery procedures. Assessing risk before implementation ensures recovery strategies are grounded in real threat analysis, and defining scope before gathering requirements prevents collecting irrelevant information.
