Business Continuity Management Framework

While computers have revolutionized business, they have also increased the risk of unplanned interruptions to production processing. Initially, this risk was addressed by developing recovery plans for centralized IT operations, a process referred to as disaster recovery planning.

As technology and business operations continued to merge and the recovery of IT operations became inadequate to support a company in emergency operational mode, contingency planning was expanded to include the recovery of mission-critical business operations, a process called business recovery planning. Today, business organizations understand that the recovery of IT operations and mission-critical business operations is incomplete without planning for personnel contingencies. This realization has resulted in the expansion of contingency planning initiatives corporate-wide, with a  focus on the recovery, restoration, and management of key business resources, referred to as business continuity management.
