Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When earthquakes crack the office floor or cyber hackers breach the door
Your ledgers scattered, servers down, the CEO begins to frown
But wait—there's gold within your vault, a blueprint beats catastrophic fault
Assessment maps identify the threats that keep executives in cold sweats

[Chorus]
R-T-O and R-P-O, Recovery Time and Point we know
Critical functions must survive, keep the business dream alive
Test and train, communicate, document before it's far too late
B-C-P will save the day when disruption comes to stay

[Verse 2]
Hot sites blazing, warm sites waiting, cold sites calculating
Alternative locations scattered like confetti across the nation
Vendor contracts, backup power, satellite phones for the darkest hour
Supply chain mapping reveals the gaps before the dominos collapse

[Chorus]
R-T-O and R-P-O, Recovery Time and Point we know
Critical functions must survive, keep the business dream alive
Test and train, communicate, document before it's far too late
B-C-P will save the day when disruption comes to stay

[Bridge]
Tabletop exercises in the boardroom chair
Walk-through simulations show who really cares
Full-scale drills expose the missing pieces
Annual reviews keep the plan from creases

[Verse 3]
Crisis communication trees branch out to every employee
Media relations scripts prepared for when the cameras glare
Recovery teams assigned their roles like actors in dramatic scrolls
Insurance policies reviewed and filed, premiums that keep stakeholders mild

[Final Chorus]
R-T-O and R-P-O, Recovery Time and Point we know
Critical functions must survive, keep the business dream alive
Monitor, maintain, and validate, continuous improvement never waits
B-C-P will save the day when disruption comes to stay

[Outro]
From pandemic to tornado spin
Your business continuity wins
