BC Strategy

Hi, I am implementing ISO 22301:2019 standards in my organization. I have different dept. in scope and currently I am drafting and designing the BC Strategy document for all these dept. I have some queries which are as below. With regards to the BC strategy solutions like People, Facilities, Data, Human Resource, transportation, finance and 3rd party. As I need to consider all these solution and options, and I am implementing it in one organization which has same

Alternate working location
Transportation channel to alternate location
HR dept. to provide the people for work.
Financial dept. to reimburse for any finances
IT DR location and IT application which is managed and backup by single IT dept.

Based on above option, I assume that all dept. will have more or less the same strategy with respect to above solutions. Please correct me if I am wrong. Only option they will differ is the suppliers which can be differently handled by different departments. Please suggest me with your advises on above.

Please note that departments in the scope may use different strategies depending on their needs (e.g., time to recover business operations, amount of acceptable data loss, etc.). For example, depending on the number of required personnel, the transport channel will vary between using own cars to taxis or buses. In case of reimbursement, some may be in cash or by means of wire transfer.

The point is that you may not assume that the strategy will be more or less the same. You need to take into account recovery objectives.
