Disaster Recovery Planning

Disaster Recovery Planning – it’s not just about “restoring from a backup”

A Business Continuity Plan identifies the critical processes and systems within your organization.
A Disaster Recovery Plan will be used to restore IT services in case of an outage caused by facilities or systems being unavailable.
An Incident Response Plan will guide the organization through responding to a cybersecurity event. Include gap analysis and recommendations for improvement

Foundational Plan must be First

Organization knows they need a plan, but have not developed one require a Foundational Plan before you begin creating the detailed individual system plans.
We provide guidance in collecting internal information and producing a set of plans that meet insurance/client/standards requirements
This allows a baseline examination of critical processes/systems/facilities/personnel before they contemplate a more thorough plan.

Through a combination of interviews, worksheets and/or surveys we will evaluate your organization and prepare a Disaster Recovery plan that fulfills NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST 800.34) Identify, Respond and Recover objectives.

The final report will include:

a high level business continuity assessment identifying all core functional areas within your organization,
a prioritized order of operations for restoration of the core functional areas should a disaster occur,
strategic responses to possible outcomes resulting from a disaster incident,
high level steps to be done to restore operations,
identification of gaps between current and desired resilience and restoration capabilities,
a strategic incident response plan in case of disaster.
