BCR-03: Business Continuity Strategy
Business Continuity Strategy
BCR-03: Are strategies developed to reduce the impact of, withstand, and recover from business disruptions in accordance with risk appetite?
Business continuity and operational resilience strategies should:
a. Be developed by both cloud service providers and cloud service consumers with consideration of acceptable limits regarding risk appetite and tolerance.
b. Cover all aspects of business continuity and resilience planning—taking inputs from assessed impact and risks—to consider activities for before, during, and after a disruption.
c. Account for the unavailability of all relevant components required to operate the business “as usual” or in a disrupted mode (in parts or total) during a disruption.
d. Cover all actions required to continue and recover prioritized activities within identified timeframes and aligned with organizational risk appetite and tolerance (including the invocation of continuity plans and crisis management capabilities).
e. Cover all activities within the defined scope to protect prioritized activities, reduce disruption likelihood, and limit cloud capability disruption through adequate resourcing.
f. Include detailed solutions and measures for each strategy.
Control implemented
Not applicable - A “N/A” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is out of scope of the assessment. The “SSRM control ownership” column is to be left blank (e.g., greyed out), and optionally the CSP may explain why it is the case (“CSP Implementation Description”).
No - A “No” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is not implemented, while in scope of the assessment. The CSP has to assign the implementation responsibility of the control to the relevant party under column “SSRM control ownership”, and optionally elaborate on the “why” (has not been implemented), and “what” has to be done for its implementation by that party.
Yes - A “Yes” answer indicates that the portion of the control in question is implemented. The CSP indicates the responsible and accountable parties (SSRM control ownership), and optionally elaborates on the implementation “how-to” per relevant party CSP and/or CSC.
Control ownership
CSP-owned - The CSP is entirely responsible and accountable for the CCM control implementation.
CSC-owned - The Cloud Service Customer (CSC) is entirely responsible and accountable for the CCM control implementation.
Third-party - The third-party CSP in the supply chain (e.g., an IaaS provider) is responsible for CCM control implementation, while the CSP is fully accountable.
Shared CSP and CSC - Both the CSP and CSC share CCM control implementation responsibility and accountability.
Shared CSP and third party - Any CCM control implementation responsibility is shared between CSP and the third party, but the CSP remains fully accountable.
