The Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is the technology recovery segment of the business
continuity plan, and in larger organizations is typically a separate component.
|
|
|
|
Focused exclusively on IT operations, this is the plan to recover application processing
and its data, including the infrastructure, communications, hardware, software,
networks, etc. - and prioritizes the recovery of each.
|
|
|
|
In most instances, the DRP we develop for our clients contains a hierarchy of importance
concerning the recovery of technology services for mission critical operations.
Most of the DRPs that we develop for our clients provide a planned IT recovery progression,
with timelines - from most critical to less critical - such as:
|
|
|
|
|
Communications (Internet, voice and data)
|
|
|
|
Hardware
|
|
|
|
Operating systems
|
|
|
|
Computer network
|
|
|
|
Individual applications, e.g., payroll, e-mail, finance, etc.
|
|
|
|
Help desk support
|
|
|
|
Applications development
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is typical for IT dependencies, such as applications, networks, software, vendors,
personnel, etc. to frequently change. As such, it is important that the DRP be updated
on a regular basis.
