What is the difference between a BCP, DRP, ITCP, and BEAP?

A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) documents procedures that guide the university to recover, resume, and restore to a pre-defined level of operation following an unplanned disruption. This type of plan addresses disruption of critical business operations and supports achieving objectives based on BIA, RA, and Senior Leadership approved resumption objections.

A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) documents procedures that guide the university to recover, resume, and restore Information Technology to a pre-defined level of operation, at an alternate location, following a data center disaster. This type of plan addresses loss of the Data Center and supports achieving objectives outlined in an IT Disaster Declaration Agreement.

An Information Technology Contingency Plan (ITCP) documents procedures that guide the university to recover, resume, and restore Information Technology to a pre-defined level following disruption of technology service(s). This type of plan assumes the data center is available and supports achieving IT Service Level Agreements.

A Building Emergency Action Plan (BEAP) documents Building life safety procedures and objectives.
