A disaster strikes without giving an advance notice. Even with some lead time, so many things can go wrong as incidents unfold in unexpected ways. This is where a Business Continuity Plan comes into play and in the limelight.
Being able to handle any incident effectively can have a positive effect on your company's reputation and market value, and it can increase customer confidence.
