Purpose and activation
State what the plan covers, who can activate it and how it relates to incident, emergency and crisis structures.
Priorities
Include priority activities, minimum service expectations, key dependencies and recovery sequence.
Roles and communications
Decision authority, alternates, internal coordination and stakeholder communications should be easy to find.
Strategies and references
The plan should point to approved recovery methods, contact data and supporting procedures without duplicating every technical runbook.
Business continuity is organization-specific. Recovery priorities, legal duties, safety requirements, contracts, insurance terms and technical recovery methods should be validated by the responsible people in the organization.
