BCP and DRP

Currently we have DR Site, we do have a Disaster Recovery plan - Currently we don't have any BCP - However what I understand is Disaster Recovery plan is a part of BCP. currently as per the advise from the security company to write a procedure in BCP. I wanted to understand that how to implement BCP and the core difference between them and how to accommodate it within our organization.? BCP means as Global which needs to include not only IT department but also to involve HR, Finance and management?

Answer: To get an overview of how to structure and test a BCP I suggest you to take a look at these material:
- Business continuity plan: How to structure it according to ISO 22301 https://advisera.com/27001academy/knowledgebase/business-continuity-plan-how-to-structure-it-according-to-iso-22301/
- How to perform business continuity exercising and testing according to ISO 22301 https://advisera.com/27001academy/blog/2015/02/02/how-to-perform-business-continuity-exercising-and-testing-according-to-iso-22301/

Regarding the differences between BCP a nd DRP, your thinking is right, BCP is wider than a DRP. BCP aims to ensure the business continues to operate after a disruptive event, while the DRP aims to handle the impacts at the affected area and bring operations back to normal conditions.

These articles will provide you further explanation about BCPs and DRPs:
