What are the disruption levels identified in a Continuity Plan?

The identified disruption levels in a Continuity Plan are typically framed to help organizations assess the impact of an incident and prioritize their responses accordingly. The classification into Limited, Serious, Major, and Catastrophic serves to clearly delineate the severity of disruptions an organization may face.

This structure enables the organization to create tailored strategies for each level of disruption. For instance, a "Limited" disruption might require minimal responses and could be handled without significant resource allocation, while a "Catastrophic" disruption would necessitate extensive resources and urgent recovery initiatives. By categorizing disruptions in this way, organizations can efficiently allocate their response efforts and ensure that they have appropriate recovery strategies in place for various scenarios.

Other options present different sets of terminology, but the terminology of Limited, Serious, Major, and Catastrophic aligns closely with established business continuity practices, where the severity of a disruption directly influences the strategic response and resource deployment.
