Recent events have made clear the importance of having a business continuity plan in place, as COVID-19 has forced immediate changes on almost every company. And while the majority of organizations now have detailed plans in place for IT, those business continuity plans often lag behind, failing to consider the full range of threats and disruptions that could occur.
When revisiting your business continuity plan in the wake of COVID-19, be sure to:
· Examine it to determine where it succeeded, and where it may have failed, including establishing suitable goals;
· Compare your plan against industry standards, to ensure your plan is comprehensive;
· Understand the differences between a business continuity plan and a health, safety, and environment plan;
· Plan for regular reviews, to ensure it remains up to date as conditions change.
