The Business Resumption Planning Policy outlines the necessary actions for each department—Business, Technology, and Corporate—within the organization.

Every department must develop this strategy to recognize current risks and threats to the business and implement precautionary measures to mitigate or minimize those potentially significant risks.

Business Resumption and Disaster Recovery Plans are crucial components that the company must implement. These plans document recovery strategies, vital business processes, and the resources needed to sustain or restore those processes.

Planning ensures the continuity of business or technology unit operations and overall organizational functions, promising timely and orderly restoration of business processes should the current business environment become unavailable. Regardless of the Recovery Time Objective for the business or technology component, all plans must be documented.

A Business Resumption Planning Policy offers several key benefits:

1. Risk Mitigation: It helps identify potential risks and vulnerabilities to business operations, allowing proactive measures to be taken to mitigate them.
2. Business Continuity: By having a plan in place, businesses can minimize downtime and ensure that critical functions can continue even in the face of disruptions such as natural disasters, cyber attacks, or pandemics.
3. Customer Confidence: Demonstrating preparedness through a resumption plan can instill confidence in customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders, reassuring them that the business can weather unexpected challenges.
4. Legal Compliance: In many industries, having a business resumption plan is a legal or regulatory requirement. Implementing such a policy ensures compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
5. Cost Savings: Being prepared can reduce the financial impact of disruptions by minimizing downtime, preventing data loss, and streamlining recovery efforts.
6. Employee Safety and Morale: Having clear procedures in place can help ensure the safety of employees during emergencies, while also providing them with a sense of security and confidence in the organization.
7. Reputation Management: Effective business resumption planning can help protect the reputation of the business by minimizing negative impacts on customers, suppliers, and the broader community.
