♾️ Business continuity plan
A Business Continuity Plan protects the data your company would need on its worst day: bank access, contracts, the credentials everything depends on.
It works like a Data Backup Plan with one addition: the Dead Man Switch. If the plan's creator can no longer respond when access is requested, the plan can be released to the people they chose, still gated by the same approvals as always.
Your company loses a person, but it does not lose access to what keeps it running. See Dead Man Switch for exactly how the check works.
Built for the handover you hope never comes
Most companies have a version of this problem:
- The banking tokens only the CFO can use
- The domain account registered to a founder
- The root credentials that live in one head
A Business Continuity Plan turns each of those single points of failure into a governed handover, defined calmly today instead of improvised in a crisis.
What is different from a Data Backup Plan
| Business Continuity Plan | |
|---|---|
| Sharing | Always Shared: continuity data must reach the team, so there is no Private variant |
| Dead Man Switch | Always on, with at least one switch enabled, managed by the plan's creator |
| Authentication | Always required |
| Moderation | As you configure it. The plan's creator and the organisation owner cannot moderate, so other members do |
Day to day, a continuity plan just sits there. The creator works as usual, nothing pings, nothing expires. The plan earns its keep on the one day the creator cannot answer, and that is precisely the day it was made for.
