A Business Continuity Plan for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) is a strategic plan designed to ensure a business’s continuity of managed services, IT support, and client operations during disruptions or disasters. This plan should include detailed instructions on how to respond to potential disasters, as well as the processes, resources, and personnel required to maintain business operations during an emergency.
Each focus area has its own objectives, projects, and KPIs to ensure that the strategy is comprehensive and effective.
This template is designed for MSPs and IT service companies who want to create their own business continuity plans. It provides a framework to help guide them through the process of defining their focus areas, objectives, and measurable targets (KPIs). It also provides guidance on implementing related projects to achieve the KPIs and utilizing a strategy execution platform to see faster results.
Focus areas are the broad topics that you want to address in order to achieve your business continuity goals. Examples of focus areas could include Business Continuity, Communication, Risk Management, and Crisis Management.
Objectives are the goals that you want to achieve for each focus area. They should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Examples of some objectives for the focus area of Business Continuity could be: Implement Disaster Recovery Plan, and Ensure Business Continuity.
KPIs are measurable targets that are used to track progress towards achieving objectives. Examples of KPIs could include the percentage of employees trained in emergency procedures, the time it takes to respond to an emergency, or the number of processes tested in a disaster recovery plan.
Projects are the actions that need to be completed in order to achieve the KPIs. Examples of projects could include developing a communication plan, creating a disaster recovery plan, or establishing risk mitigation strategies.
