You can't wait for the insurance to pay out. Your customers may be sympathetic to your plight but will go elsewhere for your services or products. Business Continuity Management (BCM) is the cornerstone of good corporate practice because it embraces risk, security, insurance, legal, operational & safety issues. A BC&DR plan does not stop the disaster happening. But it does make the process of recovery a controlled and speedier process. Staff will be made aware of where they will work, the equipment they need and where to obtain replacement equipment. Who will contact suppliers & customers and what is to be said.
