Business countinuity plan

May,

Term "Business continuity plan" is usually used for plans to respond to an incident and recover all your business activities, no matter whether they are recovered at the primary or secondary location. "Disaster recovery plan" is a term used for recovering your IT infrastructure (e.g. data center) at the secondary (alternative) location.

I'm not sure to which templates do you refer to, but our Business continuity plan, Incident response plan and recovery plans are made in such a way that they cover both scenarios: recovery at the primary and at the secondary location; they cover both the business and the IT side of the organization. These plans are made compliant with ISO 22301, leading international business continuity standard. 

We have structured the plans in such a fashion because this way you do not have to develop one plan to recover at the primary location, and another plan to recovery at the secondary location.

thank you for the clarification yes what i meant are these three plans , let me explain to you out case

in our organization the IT department is providing services for the other departments (ex: internet and application ie. systems) and there is no external users except the website and email so our BCP and DRP will include these services.

my question is

for appendix6. in the BCP which are the recovery plans do I have to create only one document that will include recovery for the services and systems or to create recovery plan for each service or system for example financial system, hr system ,email,....or I should combine all services that belong to each department in one plan? because I couldnt fit the term "activity" to our case

The easiest way is to use one recovery plan per department - e.g. your IT department will have one recovery plan (this plan will include all your IT systems), your marketing department should have its own recovery plan, your human resources department should have their recovery plan, etc.

The point is, you should recover not only your IT department and IT systems, you should recover also your business activities.
