Answer: ISO 22301 does not require separated sites for each critical activities/departments when defining BCP plans, so this decision is up to each organization, considering its available resources and defined recovery objectives, but I should say that this is a very unusual situation, and most of time a single BCP site is enough to support a BCP plan.
