Business Continuity Plan Template

For the last point, our business continuity plan is to switch over the IT applications hosted in the data center to DR site.

Standards like ISO 22301 or ISO 27001 do not prescribe whether you will have your continuity procedures as part of a single document, or will you separate them in several documents.

From my experience, the optimal structure for mid-sized and for large companies is the following: write a top-level document called Business continuity plan, a separate Incident response plan for describing how you would respond to different incidents, and finally Recovery plans that describe how to recover each of your processes/departments/projects in case of a disruption. For smaller companies you could have all the mentioned in a single document called the "Business continuity plan".

So if you are a mid-sized or a large company, you could write a recovery plan for each of your projects.

The detailed recovery steps for the IT should go into the "Disaster recovery plan" which is nothing else but a more detailed Recovery plan.
