The main purpose of having a Business Continuity Plan in place is to help businesses <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">avoid easily preventable downtime and costly damages. A Business Continuity Plan does this is by proactively identifying all threats of potential downtime within your organization and, describing all the details on how to address those situations. After all, prevention is better than trying to recover from a massive outage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your organization already has a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business Continuity Plan<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that\u2019s great! But it\u2019s still important to periodically go over what you have and, both before and after downtime, revise your Business Continuity Plan for any weaknesses or missing areas where processes can be better defined in the event of unexpected situations. That\u2019s why having a <\/span><b>Business Continuity Plan Checklist<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be extremely helpful for your organization, especially if you\u2019re just starting work on your own plan. When it comes to Business Continuity, the ultimate goal is to be proactive instead of reactive if and when disaster strikes. Because it can be challenging to know how to get started when writing a Business Continuity Plan, it\u2019s best to start with a strong foundation of the basics. This means understanding what Business Continuity is and how Business Continuity Plans are meant to serve a business.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n\t        <\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t\t<!-- module_row -->\n\t<div   class=\"themify_builder_row module_row clearfix builder-parallax-scrolling module_row_2 themify_builder_2_row module_row_2-2 tb_e91d564\">\n\t    <div class=\"builder_row_cover\"><\/div>\t    <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top\" >\n\t\t\t<div  class=\"module_column tb-column col-full first tb_2_column module_column_0 module_column_2-2-0 tb_3defc0b\">\n\t    \t    \t        <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n\t\t    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_5dfdac1  repeat  \">\n            <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <h2>80% of organizations DO NOT have a Business Continuity Plan<\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be caught unprepared.\u00a0<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n    <!-- module buttons -->\n    <div  class=\"module module-buttons tb_9cc7f55 normal outline circle  \">\n\t        \t<div class=\"module-buttons\">\n                            <div class=\"module-buttons-item  buttons-horizontal\">\n\t\t    \t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/18896\/effective-business-continuity-leaves-no-ambiguity\/\" class=\"ui builder_button tb_default_color\" >\n\t\t    \t\t    \t\t\t<span>Learn More<\/span>\n\t\t    \t\t    \t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- \/module buttons -->\n\t        <\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t\t<!-- module_row -->\n\t<div   data-anchor=\"about\" class=\"themify_builder_row module_row clearfix tb_section-about module_row_3 themify_builder_2_row module_row_2-3 tb_9179eeb\">\n\t    \t    <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top\" >\n\t\t\t<div  class=\"module_column tb-column col-full first tb_2_column module_column_0 module_column_2-3-0 tb_96947ca\">\n\t    \t    \t        <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n\t\t    \t<div  class=\"themify_builder_sub_row module_subrow clearfix sub_row_3-0-0 tb_fd9c0be\">\n\t    \t    <div class=\"subrow_inner col_align_middle\" >\n\t\t\t<div  class=\"sub_column module_column col4-2 first sub_column_post_2 sub_column_3-0-0-0 tb_fef77f2 repeat\" > \n\t    \t    \t        <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n\t\t        <!-- module image -->\n    <div  class=\"module module-image tb_fff073f  image-top   wow fadeInLeft\">\n\t                <div class=\"image-wrap\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-1024x576-560x315.jpg\" width=\"560\" class=\" wp-post-image wp-image-14\" title=\"shutterstock_702079558\" alt=\"shutterstock_702079558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-1024x576-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/>            \n                        <\/div>\n            <!-- \/image-wrap -->\n        \n        \n        <\/div>\n    <!-- \/module image -->\n\t        <\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t\t<div  class=\"sub_column module_column col4-2 last sub_column_post_2 sub_column_3-0-0-1 tb_6c1322d\"> \n\t    \t    \t        <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n\t\t    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_e9b066f  repeat  wow fadeInRight \">\n            <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <h3>What is Business Continuity?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business Continuity is all about preparing for unforeseen circumstances and having a firm grasp on how to deal with those difficult situations before they arise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you wait until you experience downtime, you\u2019re too late and likely have wasted time and money to troubleshoot a situation you could have either entirely prevented or at least minimized with Business Continuity.

A Business Continuity Plan is a written list of procedures that outline exactly how to handle potential threats before they spin out of control and lead to costly damages or even bankruptcy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business Continuity Plans should determine what employees or departments are responsible for what kinds of situations, as well as what resources are available and more. It\u2019s important to have a well-developed Business Continuity Plan, no matter how many employees or assets you\u2019re protecting because, with it, you can prevent, manage, or at the very least minimize damages caused by unexpected threats that might otherwise put you out of business. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, Business Continuity Plans are even more beneficial for small to midsize businesses and startups because small and new businesses typically have fewer funds and resources to dedicate to reactive disaster recovery and repairs. <\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n\t        <\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t\t<div  class=\"sub_column module_column col2-1 last sub_column_post_2 sub_column_3-0-2-1 tb_cx4z625\"> \n\t    \t    \t        <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n\t\t    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_zcm2123    \">\n            <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to build a startup into a successful organization, you must begin by protecting any and all existing investments.

Planning includes identifying a person or group of people who are responsible for understanding and implementing Business Continuity. It is also important for your Business Continuity Plan to be a written, well-constructed document. A successful plan is one that is extremely clear on the protocol for threats of downtime and also that is distributed to your entire organization so everyone is on the same page so they know what steps to take, should an event occur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is critical that all processes vital for the organization to function properly are explicitly addressed in your Business Continuity Plan, which will allow you to then identify the potential threats of downtime specific to your facility. This is where the focus can change depending on your conditions, and usually includes environment-related downtime such as power loss, flooding, and high temperatures as well as data loss, equipment failure, pandemic, severe weather, and employee injury just to name a few.

You should start by identifying any preexisting tools you have such as building alarms, security cameras, smoke detectors, environment monitors, and power generations. Next, look at areas in your organization where little or no equipment exists to prevent or minimize downtime. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should not only look to see what equipment you have, but also ensure that all equipment is clean, plugged in, and otherwise working correctly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your geographic location, you should also consider severe weather that could negatively impact your network such as hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, or wildfires that your business should be prepared to encounter. Again, identify if you have any data backup and protection already in place. If so, regularly test that everything works correctly. You should also verify your internet connectivity, your employees\u2019 ability to work remotely and communicate via whatever platforms you use, and more in the event that your staff may not be able to physically work onsite.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n\t        <\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t\t<div  class=\"module_column tb-column col4-2 last tb_2_column module_column_1 module_column_2-8-1 tb_llpy120\" >\n\t    \t    \t        <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n\t\t        <!-- module image -->\n    <div  class=\"module module-image tb_ygen120  image-top  \">\n\t                <div class=\"image-wrap\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920-1024x680-500x332.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\" wp-post-image wp-image-32\" title=\"computer-1245714_1920\" alt=\"computer-1245714_1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920-1024x680-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>            \n                        <\/div>\n            <!-- \/image-wrap -->\n        \n        \n        <\/div>\n    <!-- \/module image -->\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_lb3t60    \">\n            <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then you need to actively list key equipment that should be checked in the event of an emergency.

The main purpose of having a Business Continuity Plan in place is to help businesses avoid easily preventable downtime and costly damages. A Business Continuity Plan does this is by proactively identifying all threats of potential downtime within your organization and, describing all the details on how to address those situations. After all, prevention is better than trying to recover from a massive outage.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: left;\">If your organization already has a Business Continuity Plan, that\u2019s great! But it\u2019s still important to periodically go over what you have and, both before and after downtime, revise your Business Continuity Plan for any weaknesses or missing areas where processes can be better defined in the event of unexpected situations. That\u2019s why having a <b>Business Continuity Plan Checklist<\/b> can be extremely helpful for your organization, especially if you\u2019re just starting work on your own plan. When it comes to Business Continuity, the ultimate goal is to be proactive instead of reactive if and when disaster strikes. Because it can be challenging to know how to get started when writing a Business Continuity Plan, it\u2019s best to start with a strong foundation of the basics. This means understanding what Business Continuity is and how Business Continuity Plans are meant to serve a business.<\/p>\n<h2>80% of organizations DO NOT have a Business Continuity Plan<\/h2> <p>Don't be caught unprepared.\u00a0<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/18896\/effective-business-continuity-leaves-no-ambiguity\/\" > Learn More <\/a>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-1024x576-560x315.jpg\" width=\"560\" title=\"shutterstock_702079558\" alt=\"shutterstock_702079558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-1024x576-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_702079558-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/>\n<h3>What is Business Continuity?<\/h3> <p>Business Continuity is all about preparing for unforeseen circumstances and having a firm grasp on how to deal with those difficult situations before they arise. <\/p> <p>If you wait until you experience downtime, you\u2019re too late and likely have wasted time and money to troubleshoot a situation you could have either entirely prevented or at least minimized with Business Continuity. Unforeseen situations can widely vary from employee injury to damaged equipment, to cybersecurity attacks and so much more. <\/p>\n\n<p>For Business Continuity to be successful, it\u2019s vital that time, money, and resources be assigned to investments that will support continuity planning for years to come. <\/p> <p>It\u2019s important to think of your Business Continuity Plan as a real-life application. A Business Continuity Plan is a written list of procedures that outline exactly how to handle potential threats before they spin out of control and lead to costly damages or even bankruptcy. <\/p> <p>Business Continuity Plans should determine what employees or departments are responsible for what kinds of situations, as well as what resources are available and more. It\u2019s important to have a well-developed Business Continuity Plan, no matter how many employees or assets you\u2019re protecting because, with it, you can prevent, manage, or at the very least minimize damages caused by unexpected threats that might otherwise put you out of business. In fact, Business Continuity Plans are even more beneficial for small to midsize businesses and startups because small and new businesses typically have fewer funds and resources to dedicate to reactive disaster recovery and repairs. <\/p>\n<p>In order to build a startup into a successful organization, you must begin by protecting any and all existing investments. Regardless of the size of your facilities, Business Continuity is extremely important for ensuring your doors stay open and customers remain satisfied as much as possible.<\/p> <p>Business Continuity and Business Continuity Plans typically cover a huge range of categories such as protecting employees from injury, to preventing damage to physical equipment, ensuring building and facility security, offsite emergency planning, and the list goes on and on for proactive <b>Risk Management.<\/b><\/p> <p>Depending on the location and size of your staff and facility, your organization\u2019s Business Continuity Plan should consider how to properly respond to geography and any extreme weather conditions that apply in your area, as well as pandemics that can lead to your business being short-staffed or having to entirely work remotely. Making your Business Continuity Plan as comprehensive and complete as possible will improve your overall <b>Business Resilience<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2>30% of all downtime is caused by environment factors.<\/h2> <p>Temperature, humidity, water leaks, power loss and more can spell disaster for your organization if you are not proactively monitoring your environment.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/18896\/effective-business-continuity-leaves-no-ambiguity\/\" > Learn More <\/a>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Business Continuity Planning<\/h2> <p style=\"text-align: left;\">It\u2019s important to start Business Continuity with the proactive planning steps which set up the framework for how your business handles potential disaster. Planning includes identifying a person or group of people who are responsible for understanding and implementing Business Continuity. It is also important for your Business Continuity Plan to be a written, well-constructed document. A successful plan is one that is extremely clear on the protocol for threats of downtime and also that is distributed to your entire organization so everyone is on the same page so they know what steps to take, should an event occur.\u00a0<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: left;\">It is critical that all processes vital for the organization to function properly are explicitly addressed in your Business Continuity Plan, which will allow you to then identify the potential threats of downtime specific to your facility. This is where the focus can change depending on your conditions, and usually includes environment-related downtime such as power loss, flooding, and high temperatures as well as data loss, equipment failure, pandemic, severe weather, and employee injury just to name a few. You should also conduct a <b>Business Continuity Impact Analysis<\/b> to address questions such as \u201cHow much money can we afford to lose during an hour of unexpected downtime?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\nUnplanned downtime can cost almost $18,000 per minute\nWater damage claims over $500,000 have DOUBLED in the last 4 years\n93% of companies without a Business Continuity Plan close within 1 year of major downtime incident\n<h2>Technology<\/h2>\n<p>Outside of Planning, Technology plays a big role in Business Continuity because most organizations depend on their Technology in order for operations to function properly. You should start by identifying any preexisting tools you have such as building alarms, security cameras, smoke detectors, environment monitors, and power generations. Next, look at areas in your organization where little or no equipment exists to prevent or minimize downtime. <\/p> <p>You should not only look to see what equipment you have, but also ensure that all equipment is clean, plugged in, and otherwise working correctly.\u00a0<\/p> <p>Depending on your geographic location, you should also consider severe weather that could negatively impact your network such as hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, or wildfires that your business should be prepared to encounter. Again, identify if you have any data backup and protection already in place. If so, regularly test that everything works correctly. You should also verify your internet connectivity, your employees\u2019 ability to work remotely and communicate via whatever platforms you use, and more in the event that your staff may not be able to physically work onsite.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920-1024x680-500x332.jpg\" width=\"500\" title=\"computer-1245714_1920\" alt=\"computer-1245714_1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920-1024x680-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/computer-1245714_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p> <p>Then you need to actively list key equipment that should be checked in the event of an emergency. This means confirming firewalls and any licensing subscriptions are accounted for and up to date. Any antivirus software you rely on should also be reviewed to confirm it is up to date. With this, a simple component that is often overlooked is ensuring all passwords and log-in information are easily accessible to staff that requires system access. Any and all key equipment is important to consider because if just one factor is forgotten, your entire Business Continuity Plan is jeopardized and likely not able to fully deliver on its job of preventing downtime.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/laptop-3196481_1920-1024x683-500x333.jpg\" width=\"500\" title=\"laptop-3196481_1920\" alt=\"laptop-3196481_1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/laptop-3196481_1920-1024x683-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/laptop-3196481_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/laptop-3196481_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/laptop-3196481_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/laptop-3196481_1920-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/laptop-3196481_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\n<h2>Communication<\/h2>\n<p>As the structure of your plan begins to build and become more complete, it becomes increasingly important with each step to consider how it affects your plan as a whole. <\/p> <p>For example, planning and technology are vital to Business Continuity, but without proper communication, downtime can still lead to disaster for your organization. All staff needs to have up to date information on how to contact each other, so this information should be regularly reviewed and checked for accuracy. <\/p> <p>It\u2019s important that every employee has a clear understanding of how they play a part in the organization\u2019s overall Business Continuity Plan. Work with your staff to identify any potential points of failure, such as internet connectivity at employee homes, or employee-owned devices that they may be working remotely with in order to make sure your staff is well-equipped to handle any situations that may arise.<\/p>\n<h2>Recovery &amp; Review<\/h2>\n<p>In the event your organization does experience downtime, it\u2019s important to review the steps you took to recover as quickly as possible. Inevitably, you will identify areas that need to be addressed further in order to enhance your protection in the event of potential future downtime.<\/p> <p>After you\u2019ve invested all the time, resources, and money into developing your Business Continuity Plan, it is vital to routinely revisit your processes and ensure that your procedures are updated and as proactive as possible.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/student-849822_1920-1024x683-500x333.jpg\" width=\"500\" title=\"student-849822_1920\" alt=\"student-849822_1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/student-849822_1920-1024x683-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/student-849822_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/student-849822_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/student-849822_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/student-849822_1920-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/businesscontinuitychecklist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/student-849822_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\n<h2>Download Our FREE Business Continuity Plan Checklist Today<\/h2>\n<p><strong>This free Business Continuity Checklist is a strong, all-inclusive example of taking proactive steps to protect the assets, employees, and resources that your organization relies on.
