You need a Disaster Recovery Plan.

While Business Continuity (BC) focuses on restoring and maintaining the whole of an organization’s operations, following a disruptive event…
Disaster Recovery (DR) focuses on its technology systems and data.

See our video: 'What is a Business Continuity Plan?'    • What is a Business Continuity Plan? P...  

A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is a formal document that describes how an organization can quickly resume work after an unplanned incident.

Your disaster recovery plan is, therefore, the part of a business continuity plan (BCP) that deals with:
• Restoring IT and communications functions
• Resolving data loss

Typical events can be:
• Data-center or building-wide
• Organizational
• City-wide
• Local
• Regional
• Even national or multi-national in scope

Causes could be, for example:
• Natural disasters
• Accidents and human error
• Terrorism or acts of war
• Cyber-crime

As a result, an effective disaster recovery plan can
• Minimize disruption
• Contain commercial losses
• Reduce reputational impacts
• Avoid regulatory or legal breaches

So, what needs to go into your Disaster Recovery plan?
Here’s our 6-point Disaster Recovery Plan Framework
1. Make a full inventory of your assets:
a. Hardware
b. Communications
c. Software
d. Data
2. Determine your minimum acceptable impacts, in terms of:
a. Downtime
b. Loss of service
3. Document your DR processes and procedures based on the services and tools you have developed or procured. These will include:
a. Key SLAs and uptime guarantees
b. Restoration priorities for data and functionality
c. Back-up site and resources
d. Data validation and reversion
e. Code versioning
4. Set out DR responsibilities
a. Operational
b. Authorizational
c. Fall-backs in cases where prime role-holders are not available
5. Craft a communications plan that covers:
a. Internal
b. Key stakeholders (inc regulators)
c. External (reputation protection)
d. Confidentiality and data security
6. Training and rehearsal program
a. Informing people
b. Training people
c. Tests, simulations, and rehearsals
d. Reviews and revisions to plan and procedures\n
