Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

An information technology disaster recovery plan (IT DRP) should be developed in conjunction with the business continuity plan. Priorities and recovery time objectives for information technology should be developed during the business impact analysis. Technology recovery strategies should be developed to restore hardware, applications and data in time to meet the needs of the business recovery.

Businesses large and small create and manage large volumes of electronic information or data. Much of that data is important. Some data is vital to the survival and continued operation of the business. The impact of data loss or corruption from hardware failure, human error, hacking or malware could be significant. A plan for data backup and restoration of electronic information is essential.

It’s hard to stay on top of which plans are missing, which plans are outdated, and the outstanding actions required. If you don’t have the information to identify threats, vulnerabilities, and gaps, you can’t get immediate insights into your most vulnerable processes. With our business continuity plan, you can improve resilience against threats with our BC software’s proprietary methodology to build BIAs.

In the event of a disaster, the absence of a clear plan combined with lack of communication makes the situation much worse. Every second counts and a crisis can escalate quickly with long term impact on your reputation and bottom line.
