What is a Business Continuity Plan Template?

A Business Continuity Plan focuses on the effect of any disruption rather than the cause. The goal is to effectively deal with any negative incidents that could impact your business.

A good Business Continuity Plan should be clear, concise, direct and easily understandable. You can write a plan that is completely relevant to your business with BCP Builder’s unique interactive design. Most of the entry areas are free text, this means that you can layout the information in the best way for your organization. 

This Template is based on the Business Continuity Institute Good Practice Guidelines and the requirements of ISO 22301:2012. This means that you can write your plan in confidence, knowing that you are meeting all requirements.
