Which of the following plans is designed to protect critical business processes from natural or man- made failures or disasters and the resultant loss of capital due to the unavailability of normal business processes?

Options

• AContingency plan
• BBusiness continuity plan
• CCrisis communication plan
• DDisaster recovery plan

Explanation

A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is designed to ensure that critical business functions can continue operating during and after a disaster or disruption, protecting the organization from service unavailability and financial losses.

Common mistakes.

• A. A contingency plan is a broader term that can refer to any plan for an unforeseen event, but it's less specific than a BCP in terms of protecting critical business processes from loss of capital due to unavailability.
• C. A crisis communication plan focuses specifically on managing internal and external communication during a crisis, not on the operational continuation of business processes.
• D. A disaster recovery plan (DRP) specifically addresses the recovery of IT systems and infrastructure after a disaster, which is a component of a BCP but does not encompass all critical business processes.
