What is Business Continuity?

Business continuity encompasses a loosely-defined set of planning, preparatory and related activities which are intended to ensure that an organization's critical business functions will either continue to operate despite serious incidents or disasters that might otherwise have interrupted them, or will be recovered to an operational state within a reasonably short period. As such, business continuity includes three key elements:

• Resilience

• Recovery

• Contingency
