Business continuity planning, e. g. business continuity and resiliency planning or emergency preparedness, is the process of creating systems of prevention and recovery to deal with potential threats to a company. In addition to prevention, the goal is to enable ongoing operations before and during execution of disaster recovery. The 2020 global Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated how important this should be to all organizations.
