Disaster Recovery Planning

Disaster Recovery Planning is not just “restoring from a backup”

  • A Business Continuity Plan identifies the critical processes and systems inside your client’s organization.

  • A Disaster Recovery Plan outlines how IT services will be restored if facilities or systems go down.

  • An Incident Response Plan guides the response to a cybersecurity event, including gap analysis and recommendations for improvement.

Data representation

Foundational Plan must be First

  • Many organizations know they need a plan but have not developed one. A Foundational Plan is required before detailed system-level plans can be created.

  • We help gather the right internal information and create plans that meet client, insurance, and regulatory requirements.

  • This baseline view of processes, systems, facilities, and people ensures your clients can move toward a complete, compliant plan.

Through interviews, worksheets, and surveys we prepare a Disaster Recovery Plan that aligns with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST 800.34) and covers Identify, Respond, and Recover objectives.

The final report will include:

  • A business continuity assessment that identifies all critical functions.

  • A prioritized order of operations for restoring those functions during a disaster.

  • Strategic responses to incidents and their possible outcomes.

  • Clear steps for restoring operations quickly.

  • Identification of current gaps in resilience and restoration capabilities.

  • An incident response plan tailored to the organization.

  • A disaster recovery plan for one or more core areas.

  • A complete business continuity plan for at least one core area

​

This report is intended to bring awareness and act as a launching pad for future improvements to your disaster recovery capabilities.
