Business continuity: The ability of an organization to maintain essential functions during and after a disaster has occurred. This involves planning and preparation to ensure that an organization can continue to operate in case of serious incidents or disasters and can recover to an operational state within a reasonably short period. This concept extends beyond disaster recovery to include keeping all aspects of a business functioning amidst disruptive events.
