Business continuity planning is a process that aims, at an early stage, to detect serious risks for a company that threaten the company’s survival, and to establish countermeasures. Business continuity planning comprises a planned and organised approach to sustainably increasing the resilience of an enterprise’s (time-)critical business processes, responding appropriately to incidents and being able to take up operations again as quickly as possible. Commonly referred to as Business Continuity Management (BCM), this approach involves strategically organizing and planning to enhance the resilience of a company's critical business processes. The primary goal is to respond swiftly and effectively to incidents, ensuring the rapid resumption of operations.
