Why do we need a Plan?
 To minimize business activities interruptions
 To protect critical processes, applications, internal and
external customers

disaster have more possibilities of closing their business

6. Quiz- CISSP
 If you have a crisis management or disaster recovery plan you
don’t have to create a business continuity plan. They are all
the same.
 A BCP outlines steps your organization needs to take to
quickly resume mission-critical service delivery.
 The purpose of the business continuity plan is to sustain
delivery of services essential to the organization’s survival.
 Once a disaster has passed, the organization focuses on
rebuilding or putting itself back together. This is part of a
business continuity plan.

9. Scenario samples
 “Imagine this scenario. Your servers are down. The computer
room is dark. A major disaster has occurred, you don’t know the
details, but you need to determine your next move. What task
should you do first? What are your priorities? Should you start
recovery of your servers, and if so, in what order? If you ask the
business experts, they’ll tell you everything is a business priority,
but you have to make some critical decisions. Advice: lock the
doors before the rush of self-proclaimed experts comes through
your door and starts telling you what has to be done.
 Will you simply listen to the person who screams the loudest and
get his server back up and running first? If not, then what is your
top priority? The computer systems may or may not be
recoverable in the short term, and perhaps not in the longer term
either. You’ll need to take a deep breath and remember that this
is what you’ve been documenting and practicing for all these
years. But, even if you have a disaster recovery plan, does it
include prioritization of server recovery in a disaster?”
