解説
問 7
- ア
正解 A BCP (Business Continuity Plan) is a plan whose purpose is to keep a company’s core critical business operations from being interrupted—or, if they are interrupted, to restore and continue them within an acceptable time—even in emergencies such as large-scale natural disasters, system failures, or pandemics, where management resources such as personnel, buildings, equipment, and funds are severely damaged and reduced. Option ア, “Continuation of critical business operations under conditions where management resources have been reduced”, states exactly this original purpose of a BCP, so it is the correct answer.
Incorrectイ
“Preservation of assets such as buildings and equipment” reflects the perspective of disaster prevention or asset management, and is not the focus of a BCP. A BCP considers how to continue business operations even on the premise that assets have been lost; protecting the assets themselves is not its primary purpose.
Incorrectウ
“Securing means of communication in the disaster-stricken area” is merely one specific means or element that is useful when carrying out a BCP; it is not the purpose of the plan as a whole. This confuses the purpose (continuation of critical business operations) with one means of achieving it.
Incorrectエ
“Reduction of the occurrence probability and impact of risks that cause occupational accidents” belongs to the field of occupational health and safety or risk management, and differs from the purpose of a BCP, which is to continue critical business operations after a disaster has occurred.
ここがポイント
- The purpose of a BCP (Business Continuity Plan) is to keep core critical business operations from being interrupted—or to restore and continue them quickly—even when management resources are reduced by a disaster or the like.
- Do not confuse it with asset preservation (disaster prevention) or reduction of occupational-accident risk (health and safety). A BCP focuses on how to keep the business going.
