Incident Handling Procedure and Business Continuity Plan
Assign topic to the user
If an incident occurs and need to resolve a danger immediately, execute the Incident Handling Procedure. After that, if there is a business disrupt, execute the Business Continuity Plan.
In accordance with the official definition of the ISO 22301-Business Continuity Management Systems, an incident is a situation that might be, or could lead to, a disruption, loss, emergency or crisis. On the other hand, in the standard there is no official definition for disaster, but we can consider that is the same or similar to a crisis or emergency. So, an incident can result in a disaster.
Generally, Disaster is related to the concept Disaster Recovery (technology), which is not the same that "Business Continuity" (whole organization).
