Chapter 3 Business Continuity Planning

       THE CISSP EXAM TOPICS COVERED IN THIS CHAPTER INCLUDE:

       Domain 1.0: Security and Risk Management1.8 Identify, analyze, and prioritize Business Continuity (BC) requirements1.8.1 Business Impact Analysis (BIA)1.8.2 Develop and document scope and plan

       Domain 7.0: Security Operations7.13 Participate in Business Continuity (BC) planning and exercises

Despite our best intentions, disasters of one form or another eventually strike every organization. Whether it's a natural disaster such as a hurricane, earthquake, or pandemic, or a person-made calamity such as a building fire, burst water pipe, or economic crisis, every organization will encounter events that threaten their operations or even their very existence.

      Resilient organizations have plans and procedures in place to help mitigate the effects a disaster has on their continuing operations and to speed the return to normal operations. Recognizing the importance of planning for business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR), the International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC)² included these two processes in the objectives for the CISSP program. Knowledge of these fundamental topics will help you prepare for the exam and help you prepare your organization for the unexpected.

      In this chapter, we'll explore the concepts behind business continuity planning (BCP). Chapter 18, “Disaster Recovery Planning,” will continue the discussion and delve into the specifics of the technical controls that organizations can put in place to restore operations as quickly as possible after disaster strikes.

Planning for Business Continuity

      Business continuity planning (BCP) involves assessing the risks to organizational processes and creating policies, plans, and procedures to minimize the impact those risks might have on the organization if they were to occur. BCP is used to maintain the continuous operation of a business in the event of an emergency. The goal of BCP planners is to implement a combination of policies, procedures, and processes such that a potentially disruptive event has as little impact on the business as possible.

      BCP focuses on maintaining business operations with reduced or restricted infrastructure capabilities or resources. As long as the continuity of the organization's ability to perform its mission-critical work tasks is maintained, BCP can be used to manage and restore the environment.
