The events of Oklahoma City, September 11 and
Hurricane Katrina present a clear example of why we
need a cohesive repeatable plan to manage business
continuity. The number of possible disasters is
quite large and thus requires intelligent Business
Continuity Planning (BCP) for all relevant
scenarios. A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is the
cornerstone of a working Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
Business Impact Analysis (BIA) supports business continuity via financial impact analysis regarding which processes are the most critical to recover in case of a disaster. The goal of a BIA involves assigning monetary value to the protection and restoration of assets and infrastructure involved in specific business processes to enable Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery.
Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is concerned with overall business operations. The goal of BCP is to create a repeatable plan for the phased recovery of operations according to RTO and RPO objectives. RTO Definition Short for Recovery Time Objective, RTO is a term associated with business continuity and disaster recovery. Specifically, the RTO is the period of time after an outage in which the systems and data must be restored to the predetermined RPO (Recovery Point Objective). RPO Definition
Short for Recovery Point Objective, it is a term associated with business continuance and disaster recovery. Specifically the RPO is the point in time (prior to the outage) in which systems and data must be restored to.
