What You Need To Know About Disaster Recovery Planning

Natural disasters have a way of wreaking havoc on Earth. However, is that the only disaster you need to remain cautious of? We have to deal with man-made disasters more regularly than the natural ones. The best way to damage someone’s business is with a well-planned cyber-attack. We all know that prevention is better than reaction, but sometimes these disasters catch us off-guard and ruin organizations overnight. To avoid feeling helpless after being struck by an unplanned, unfortunate, and devastating occurrence, it is essential to think ahead with Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP).

There should not be any limitation on security and disaster recovery solutions. After all, no one can risk thinking that they are too safe. However, the planning needs to be on a financially realistic level so that it helps keep the business afloat in the case of a disaster. There are a few things that you need to keep in mind to formulate successful disaster recovery solution. Any successful DPR must carry out a thorough Business Impact Analysis (BIA), along with a Risk Analysis (RA). These will help in determining which areas of the business need more protection. Additionally, they will help you establish an estimated Recovery Time Objective (RTO).
