5.0 Business Continuity
5.1 Purpose of the Business Continuity Phase
The purpose of the business continuity phase of your response is to ensure that critical activities
are resumed as quickly as possible and/or continue to be delivered during the disruption. This
may involve activation one or more of your business continuity strategies to enable alternative
ways of working. During an incident it is unlikely that you will have all of your resources
available to you, it is therefore likely that some ‘non critical’ activities may need to be suspended
at this time.
