Abstract
Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in IT-related businesses has been applied to wider areas, including not only addressing security threats, but also dealing with a large-scale earthquake or highly-virulent new influenza virus that has spread since last year. All possible measures against security threats have been taken in each project through the introduction of ISMS. However, the preparation of BCP for a large-scale earthquake or highly-virulent new influenza virus is still in progress. In this paper, we will introduce our efforts for the preparation of BCP for the project of system development, maintenance, and operation with a high demand for business continuity, aiming at "non-interruption of important operations and early recovery in the event of a disaster". Specifically, we will show the structure and role sharing among hierarchized organizations; and the status and results of BCP preparation made by evaluating two risks: large-scale inland earthquake in metropolitan area and the spread of infectious diseases including a new influenza virus and future issues.
