Business continuity and disaster recovery auditing

Given organizations' increasing dependency on information technology (IT) to run their operations, business continuity planning covers the entire organization, while disaster recovery focuses on IT. IT disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery auditing are backup and data management.

See IT disaster recovery and Business continuity and disaster recovery auditing

Business continuity planning

Business continuity may be defined as "the capability of an organization to continue the delivery of products or services at pre-defined acceptable levels following a disruptive incident", and business continuity planning (or business continuity and resiliency planning) is the process of creating systems of prevention and recovery to deal with potential threats to a company. IT disaster recovery and business continuity planning are backup, business continuity, disaster recovery and iT risk management.
