1) yourwindow.to - Business Continuity Planning / Disaster Recovery Planning - An Online Guide - The Business Continuity Plan Generator, provides a comprehensive and easy to follow method for building a Business Continuity and disaster recovery Plan for your organization. This practical, MS-Word based, planning tool will enable your organization to develop an effective Business Continuity Plan covering all your business processes and operations within a fraction of the time that it took previously. It comprises a comprehensive interactive guide to take you through the process, and a detail disaster recovery template for you to populate (and thus create a quality plan). Every business can experience a serious incident that can prevent it from continuing normal business operations, and this can happen at any time. This can range from a flood or explosion to a serious computer malfunction or information security incident.

2) ffiec.gov - Business Continuity Planning - The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Business Continuity Planning booklet provides guidance and examination procedures to assist examiners in evaluating financial institution and service provider risk management processes to ensure the availability of critical financial services. Operating disruptions can occur with or without warning, and the results may be predictable or unknown. Because financial institutions play a crucial role in the United States economy, it is important their business operations are resilient and the effects of disruptions in service are minimized in order to maintain public trust and confidence in our financial system.

3) psepc-sppcc.gc.ca - A guide to business continuity planning - The publication provides a summary and general guidelines for business continuity planning (BCP). While governments, not-for-profit institutions, and non-governmental organizations also deliver critical services, private organizations must continuously deliver products and services to satisfy shareholders and to survive. Although they differ in goals and functions, BCP can be applied by all organizations. A Business Resumption Plan describes how to resume business after a disruption. A Disaster Recovery Plan deals with recovering Information Technology (IT) assets after a disastrous interruption. Both imply a stoppage in critical operations and are reactive.

4) business-continuity-world.com - Business Continuity, Contingency Planning & Disaster Recovery - Business continuity management and contingency planning are of course essential and unavoidable tasks. However, the creation of a sound continuity and contingency plan is a complex undertaking, involving a number of stages and discrete activities. For example, initially it is necessary to understand the underlying risks and the potential impacts of disaster.... these are the building blocks upon which a sensible business continuity plan or disaster recovery plan should be built. Then the plan itself must be created... which of course is far from trivial. Then there are the maintenance and testing phases, to ensure that the plan remains current. Even having arranged all these matters there is audit to consider - and of course, there is the not so small matter of ISO17799!

5) en.wikipedia.org - Business continuity planning - Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is an interdisciplinary peer mentoring methodology used to create and validate an exercised logistical plan for how an organization will recover and restore partially or completely interrupted critical function(s) within a predetermined time after a disaster or extended disruption. BCP may be a part of an organizational learning effort that helps reduce operational risk associated with lax information management controls. This process may be integrated with improving information security and corporate reputation risk management practices. British Standards Institute is planning to release a new independent standard for BCP — BS 25999. The draft of standard had been put up for public comments and the final standard is expected in early 2007. This standard would reduce the reliance on Information Security oriented standards which dealt with BCP marginally.
