Disaster Recovery & Contingency Planning |
|
Present day organizations are affected by a multitide of factors unrelated to business. These factors (natural and man-made) are an increasingly important aspect of enterprise computing.
As devices, systems and networks become more complex, the chances of things going wrong are equally high. However, organizations need to take appropriate measures to ensure that business continues undisturbed in the face of major disruptions.

This domain focuses on the efforts needed when there is a major system and network failure. This involves preparation, testing and
updating of specific actions to protect critical business processes in face of a disaster scenario. Some aspects are:
Business Continuity Plan
This plan explains the build up defense necessary to counteract interruptions to critical business processes. Plans vary from one enterprise to another, depending on several factors such as type of business, the processes involved, and the level of security needed.
Business Impact Assessment
Determines the proportion of impact (financial or operational) an individual business unit would sustain subsequent to a significant interruption of computing or telecommunication services.
Disaster Recovery Plan
The plan details the steps needed for emergency response, extended backup operation and post-disaster recovery. The primary objective of the Disaster Recovery Plan is to provide the capability to process mission-essential applications, in a degraded mode, and return to normal mode of operation within a reasonable amount of time.
This involves an analysis of business processes and continuity needs, with a focus on disaster prevention. The plan comes into play when a computer installation experiences a partial or total loss of computing and physical facilities.
