A business continuity plan (BCP) is a document that outlines how a company will continue to function during and after a major incident. A disaster recovery plan (DRP), on the other hand, outlines how a company will restore its IT infrastructure and systems back to operation after a major incident has occurred.
The primary difference between BCPs and DRPs is that BCPs are focused on maintaining business operations, while DRPs are focused on returning IT infrastructure and systems back to normal operation. However, there is some overlap between the two plans, as both plans should include steps for restoring data, communication, and operations.
