Explanation

The primary objective of business continuity planning is to ensure timely recovery of mission- critical business processes. Business continuity planning is the process of identifying, analyzing, and preparing for the potential impacts of disruptive events or incidents that may affect the organization's normal operations and functions. Business continuity planning involves developing and implementing a business continuity plan (BCP), which is a document that defines the procedures and resources for restoring the organization's mission-critical business processes and systems after a disaster or an outage. The mission-critical business processes are the core activities or functions that are essential for the organization's survival and success, and that must be resumed within a predefined time frame, known as the recovery time objective (RTO). The primary objective of business continuity planning is to ensure that the organization can recover its mission-critical business processes within the RTO, and minimize the impact and the loss caused by the disruption.
