# BCP — Business Continuity Plan.

Keep your business-critical operations running, no matter what happens. We build your BCP aligned to leading practices **(ISO 22301)**: impact analysis, continuity strategies, crisis management, and drills.

[Schedule an assessment (60 min) →](https://sumatogroup.com/contacto) [View deliverables →](https://sumatogroup.com/en/business-continuity-plan#entregables)

What it is

Continuity is not improvised: it is planned.

The BCP (Business Continuity Plan) is the organizational plan that ensures business-critical functions keep operating —or recover quickly— during a disruption. It spans people, processes, technology, suppliers, and facilities, going well beyond the purely technical.

Why implement it

## A plan keeps the whole business standing through a disruption.

Natural disasters, cyberattacks, supplier failures, or operational crises can halt operations. The BCP defines how to keep running and protect revenue, customers, and reputation. Threats are sized where you actually operate: in Colombia and Mexico, flooding, earthquakes, road blockades and power cuts weigh on the analysis as heavily as a cyberattack.

01

### Protects revenue and operations

Keeps the critical functions that sustain the business up and running.

02

### Compliance

Addresses ISO 22301 and the regulatory requirements of your industry.

03

### Market confidence

Provides assurance to customers, partners, regulators, and insurers.

04

### Orderly response

Roles, decisions, and crisis communication defined in advance.

05

### Lower reputational impact

A professional response protects the brand at the worst possible moment.

06

### End-to-end resilience

Continuity of people, processes, technology, and suppliers.

How we build it

## From critical functions to a resilient organization.

01

### Policy and scope

We define the continuity policy, the scope, and the governance of the program.

02

### Business Impact Analysis (BIA)

We identify the critical functions, their impact, and their maximum tolerable downtime.

03

### Risk assessment

We analyze the threats and vulnerabilities that could interrupt operations.

04

### Continuity strategies

We design how to sustain people, processes, technology, and suppliers.

05

### Crisis, testing, and drills

We define crisis management and validate the plan with real-world exercises.

Benefits

## What your organization gains.

### Resilient operations

Critical functions remain active during a disruption.

### Crisis management ready

Roles, crisis committee, and communication defined and rehearsed.

### Compliance and certification

A solid foundation for ISO 22301 and industry requirements.

### Supplier continuity

Plans for critical external dependencies, not just internal ones.

### Brand protection

A professional response preserves trust and reputation.

### Faster decisions

Less improvisation: the plan guides the response from minute one.

Expected outcomes

## From vulnerability to organizational resilience.

### Critical functions mapped

Priorities and tolerable downtimes defined by the business.

### Continuity strategies

How to keep operating across every disruption scenario.

### Tested plan

Crisis management validated with drills, not merely documented.

Frequently asked questions

## About the BCP.

What is a BCP?+

It is the Business Continuity Plan: the organizational plan that ensures critical functions keep operating during a disruption, covering people, processes, technology, suppliers, and facilities.

BCP or DRP — which do I need?+

Both, and they complement each other. The BCP is the comprehensive business continuity framework; the DRP is the technical part that recovers IT and is a component of the BCP. See also our [DRP](https://sumatogroup.com/drp) page.

Do I need to certify to ISO 22301?+

It is not mandatory, but we build it aligned to ISO 22301 so that, if you decide to certify, you already have the foundation in place. The standard is the international reference for business continuity.

How often is it updated?+

We recommend reviewing it at least once a year and after significant changes in the business, in addition to maintaining the testing and drills cycle.

Does it include drills?+

Yes. A BCP proves its value when it is exercised: we include a testing plan and crisis drills to validate the response.

Does it apply to SMBs?+

Yes. We tailor the depth to the size and maturity of the organization; even a scaled-down version delivers real resilience.

How do I get started?+

With a 60-minute assessment where we identify your critical functions and define the scope. Schedule it using the contact button.

The concrete first step

## Cybersecurity Assessment

Continuity is planned against concrete threats. The assessment establishes which ones are yours and how likely they are, before defining which processes must survive.
