  1. Copying business continuity plan across all companies.
  2. Mutual aid agreement
  3. Carrying out drill simultaneously
  4. Sharing metrics for BCP testing to define/modify benchmarks
Explanation
Answer. B & D. All companies should have their own business continuity plan. However, a group of organizations facing similar threats will have similar mitigation strategies as well. It is beneficial and cost effective if mutual aid agreements can be signed to help improve the response to a threat. Also, the organizations can share best practices to gauge what response times should be.

Key takeaway: A mutual aid agreement and sharing of best practices can help lower the cost of BCP while increasing effectiveness.
