BCP stands for Business Continuity Plan, which covers plans and processes used during a disruptive event.

• A. SOA
• B. Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
• C. Asset Value
• D. ARO

Answer: (B)

A Business Continuity Plan focuses on keeping essential operations running during a disruption and restoring full function afterward. It encompasses a set of plans and processes that address people, facilities, data, and critical functions, not just technology, so the organization can continue to operate and recover quickly after an event such as a outage, natural disaster, or cyber incident. Key elements typically include a business impact analysis, recovery strategies, defined roles and communication procedures, and testing and training to ensure everyone knows what to do. This holistic approach is what sets it apart from other concepts that might sound related but aren’t plans for ongoing operation during disruptions. For example, service-oriented architecture is a software design approach, asset value is a way to quantify asset worth, and ARO measures how often a threat is expected to occur in a year.
