Disaster Recovery Plan

A disaster recovery plan outlines procedures for recovering IT systems and data:

Risk Assessment

Identify potential risks and threats:

• Natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods)
• Cyberattacks (e.g., ransomware, DDoS attacks)
• Hardware and software failures

Business Impact Analysis (BIA)

Determine the impact of a disaster:

• Assess potential downtime and financial losses
• Identify critical business processes

Recovery Objectives

Define recovery time and point objectives:

• RTO: Maximum acceptable downtime for each system
• RPO: Maximum acceptable data loss

Recovery Strategies

Outline recovery strategies:

• Data backup and restoration processes
• Failover to redundant systems
• Activate alternate data centers
