The objective of this examination was to investigate the influence of organizational structure on BCM. The examination utilized two speculations Contingency Theory and Resource Based View Theory with the objective populace of the investigation being staff and different partners of private security associations. Stratified random sampling and purposive sampling will be employed to select the respondents. The findings from the study revealed that BCM emerged as the essential part to overall organization health that all sectors of business identify. BCM success depends on clearly defined strategic plans through planning by management. The strategic plans are laid down by the management of an organization which is defined by several elements in practice. The elements are categorically based on the organization structure, style, system and resources. Therefore, business continuity management is a combination of different elements of the organization.
