CBT Nuggets trainer Bob Salmans covers the process for planning out your business continuity and disaster recovery strategies. Having a plan to follow in the event of disaster means business can keep happening and everyone knows how to respond. Watch along to learn why BC/DR is important and how to build a plan for it.
Accountability and ownership are the foundations of business continuity and disaster recovery. There has to be someone in charge of the process for it to be successful. Also, a good business continuity and disaster recovery plan will need a purpose, scope and authority. The purpose helps define the intent of the policy and the scope defines which parts of an organization are covered by the policy. Authority grants the people responsible for BC/DR the ability to actually get things done.
Once you've developed the BC/DR plan, you also perform a business impact analysis to understand the ramifications of losing access to any given piece of technology. That analysis gets fed through a critical analysis so we understand the risks, which helps inform our recovery goals.
Throughout the business continuity and disaster recovery planning process, you'll uncover dependencies and run into complications, but following Bob's video will help you make sense of it all.
