Explanation:

Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is the process that creates preventive and recovery measures in the event of a disaster. It defines the potential risks facing the operations of a business and puts a strategy in place to mitigate these risks. A BCP also puts checks in place to confirm that the strategy works. If a business cannot operate due to a disaster, the BCP assists in bringing the business back to life and operational readiness.

Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP) is a process that deals with identifying and mitigating the risks to the Information Technology assets of a business if there is a disaster. DRP ensures that these assets are protected and data integrity is maintained through backup and a recovery plan.

It is advisable to have BCP or DRP in addition to insurance as insurance will not cover the cost of sales or customers lost while a business tries to rebuild itself after a disaster.
