Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When disaster strikes without warning
Systems fail and networks fall
Your company needs a plan in place
To keep operations standing tall
Risk assessment is the starting point
Identify what could go wrong
Then build your strategies step by step
To keep the business moving strong

[Chorus]
Plan Protect Prepare and Test
Recovery Time Objectives set
Communication flows both ways
Backup sites and alternate days
Plan Protect Prepare and Test
Business continuity at its best
When disruption comes to call
We'll be ready through it all

[Verse 2]
Recovery strategies must be clear
Hot sites warm sites cold sites too
Define your maximum downtime limits
RPO and RTO will guide you through
Essential functions get priority
Critical processes mapped with care
Vendor relationships documented
Supply chain backups everywhere

[Chorus]
Plan Protect Prepare and Test
Recovery Time Objectives set
Communication flows both ways
Backup sites and alternate days
Plan Protect Prepare and Test
Business continuity at its best
When disruption comes to call
We'll be ready through it all

[Bridge]
Testing protocols keep us sharp
Tabletop exercises every year
Full-scale drills reveal the gaps
Make sure everyone knows their role here
Update and review the master plan
Train your teams and spread the word
Communication trees established
Every voice will be heard

[Verse 3]
Document everything in detail
Store copies at separate sites
Emergency contact information
Key personnel day and night
Financial impacts calculated
Insurance coverage verified
Legal requirements all addressed
Stakeholder trust maintained and fortified

[Chorus]
Plan Protect Prepare and Test
Recovery Time Objectives set
Communication flows both ways
Backup sites and alternate days
Plan Protect Prepare and Test
Business continuity at its best
When disruption comes to call
We'll be ready through it all

[Outro]
From cyber threats to natural disasters
Your business continuity plan
Keeps operations running smoothly
When crisis strikes across the land
