As part of a risk management framework, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning results in formal processes and procedures to reference and implement before, during and after disruptions have occurred to ensure the continuation of operations and survival of the business. It is evident that more companies should apply additional resources to BCDR planning based on survival statistics from recent security events:
44% of businesses affected by fire close permanently
More than 18,000 business have closed permanently as a result of Hurricane Katrina and Rita
150 businesses out of 350 affected by the 1993 World Trade Center bombing failed – those with tested BCDR plans were back in business within 3 days
