Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)

In order to meet today's challenges, businesses have become dependent on information technology for their day-to-day operations. You have automated several processes for your organization to be as effective as possible.

Therefore, IT systems' availability is critical for your business continuity. Added emphasis has been placed on the recovery of IT infrastructure in case of disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or deliberately caused by man (virus attacks, explosion, arson, sabotage) and every organization must be prepared to react to interruption.

Benefits of a Disaster Recovery Plan(DRP)

The outcome of implementing a DRP is to have a contingency plan including detailed responsibilities and authorities for members of the DRP team. A DRP provides guidance and reasonable assurance that critical IT resources and facilities can be successfully recovered in case of a disaster.

Examples of DRP's objectives for your organization could be to:

Protect your organization: protection of your computer room facility or resources to ensure organizational stability.
Guarantee reliability: an updated, tested plan provides assurance that standby systems will perform effectively.
Minimize decision making during a disaster: In a highly charged stressful disaster situation, critical decision making becomes exponentially more complex as a direct result of the short deadlines for decisions.
Provide a sense of security: Knowledge that alternatives have been deployed for continuation of operations reassures employees, management team, customers, insurers as well as investors.
