Business Continuity (BC) is the capability of an organization to continue delivering products or services at acceptable predefined levels following a disruptive incident. Think of it as an organization's immune system, constantly working to identify potential threats and ensure the body can still function even when under attack. It's about building resilience and ensuring that when the unexpected happens—be it a natural disaster, a cyberattack, a pandemic, or a major supply chain disruption—the organization can weather the storm and get back on its feet as quickly as possible.
