Business continuity management is a holistic
management process that identifies potential threats
to an organization and the impacts to business
operations that those threats, if realized, might
cause, and that provides a framework for building
organizational resilience with the capability for an
effective response that safeguards the interests of
its key stakeholders, reputation, brand and value-
creating activities.
