Disaster Recovery Plan
Disaster Recovery Plan
Disaster recovery is an organization’s response strategy to a natural or manmade disaster.
From a commercial perspective, backups of data and business plans and the minimization of damage on assets and property take precedence. The magnitude of damage can be greatly reduced if an organization’s emergency team proactively takes into consideration the possibility of such occurrences while designing their infrastructure.
When we create a disaster recovery plan, we follow the following steps:
- Establish a planning group
- Perform a risk assessment and define acceptable Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) and Recovery Time
- Prepare an inventory of IT assets
- Identify dependencies and establish priorities
- Develop recovery strategies
- Develop a communication plan
- Develop documentation, verification criteria, procedures, and responsibilities
