Following are the Vital Ingredients of any Business Continuity Plan
Staff
The backbone of any business structure is the staff. It is not possible to replace the highly trained staff at a short notice. What if the key personnel who manage the affairs are not there to perform? These are vital factors to think and make adequate precautions.
Equipment
How much can you rely on the remaining machinery in case of a disaster? Whether stand-by machinery is available and how soon it can be made available for smooth functioning of the business is an important aspect to consider.
Data and Software
You must consider the importance of backing up systems and data in an offsite server. The offsite server should be in different location other than the place of business.
Paper Check
You must check if all the paper data have been transferred to proper storage facility before a disaster.
Have a business continuity committee in place comprising staff from all important departments to formulate ideas and prepare for disaster management.
