crobriefing on Power Blackout Risks
At the end of the threat analysis, the following key questions arise regarding business continuity management.

Are the critical functions and processes in the company defined? 

Does useful documentation exist concerning frequency, scale and causes of business interruptions? 

Do comprehensive disaster recovery plans exist where the necessary strategies, data and operating 
resources are laid down for business recovery? 

Are the IT and communication systems sufficiently protected, so that they can resume operation within
the required time following incidents? 

Are there plans which are tested and updated regularly by means of practice drills? 
description of business continuity planning (bcp) elements 
business continuity organisation 
concerns all divisions of the company and requires cooperation at all hierarchy levels. Only a clearly structured 
business continuity organisation can ensure that strategies are developed, established, maintained and properly 
implemented in an emergency. 
People involved in preparing and maintaining the business continuity plan need to be acquainted with the 
company’s infrastructure and processes and suited to the tasks in question. Responsibilities within the BC 
process as a whole need to be clearly defined at all times. 
The top position in the BC management should be held by a representative of the highest company level to 
ensure high strategic priority within the company. A crisis team could operate locally and objectively in the 
closest possible proximity to the emergency while emergency service teams were safeguarding the infrastructure 
and recovery teams were already starting with specific disaster recovery activities.
