    Definition of Disaster

    • A disaster, as defined by DRI International, is a sudden, unplanned event that disrupts essential functions and operations of an organization, causing significant financial, operational, or reputational impact.

    Business Continuity Planning (BCP)

    • The primary purpose of BCP is to ensure that an organization can respond to interruptions and maintain or restore its operations and services in a timely manner.

    Examples of Disasters in BCP

    • Examples of disasters in the context of BCP include natural disasters (e.g. earthquakes, hurricanes, floods), technological failures (e.g. hardware, software, network failures), human-induced disasters (e.g. terrorism, sabotage, cyber attacks), and environmental disasters (e.g. oil spills, chemical leaks).

    Time Factor in Disaster Classification

    • The time factor plays a crucial role in determining whether a service interruption is classified as an inconvenience or a disaster, with interruptions exceeding a certain duration (e.g. exceeding a few hours or days) typically being considered disasters.

    Aims of Business Continuity Planning
