What is the difference between Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP)?

Disaster Recovery Planning focuses on restoringIT systems, infrastructure, and communicationsafter a disruption. Business Continuity Planning focuses onmaintaining critical business functionsduring and after incidents, often using alternative processes.

BCP is broader than DRP and includes people, processes, facilities, and third parties, while DRP is IT-centric. Both plans complement each other but serve different purposes.
