Business continuity is the broader strategy of ensuring critical business operations continue during disruptions, not just restoring IT.
Why it matters:
- Goes beyond IT — includes facilities, staff, supply chains, and communication.
- Ensures customers can still be served even if systems are down.
- Required in regulated industries like healthcare and finance.
Pro tip: Business continuity is about resilience, not perfection — prioritize essential services first.
