DISASTER PLANNING AND RECOVERY
Business owners invest a tremendous amount of time, money and resources to make their ventures successful, yet, many owners fail to properly plan and prepare for disaster situations. According to the Institute for Business and Home Safety, an estimated 25 percent of businesses do not reopen following a major disaster. You can protect your business by identifying the risks associated with natural and man-made disasters, and by creating a plan for action should a disaster strike. By keeping those plans updated, you can help ensure the survival of your business.
An information technology disaster recovery plan (IT DRP) should be developed in conjunction with a business continuity plan. Priorities and recovery time objectives for information technology should be developed during a 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.
ISO/IEC 27031, the global standard for IT disaster recovery, states, “Strategies should define the approaches to implement the required resilience so that the principles of incident prevention, detection, response, recovery and restoration are put in place.”
Strategies define what you plan to do when responding to an incident, while plans describe how you will do it.
