Data Recovery Plan

A Data Recovery Plan (DRP) is a documented process or set of procedures to recover and protect a businesses IT infrastructure in the event of data corruption.
This may be caused by (a disaster, Malware / Ransomware attack, User error etc)
Typically, a DRP covers,
  • identifying important/mission critical information,
  • identifying relevant time periods,
  • identifying Hardware, Telecoms and Software Assets and their Risks
  • identifying the people that would be involved in the recovery process.
  • Finally documenting the above in written form and specifying procedures that a company is to follow in the event of a disaster.
The resulting plan could range from a single sheet of paper to a manuscript.
Obviously, there is no point preparing a plan AFTER the event!!

Disaster-Recovery

  • DRPs can suffer from “Feature Creep”
  • Best to stay focused and carry out small measurable sections at a time.
  • DRPs can be part of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP).
  • DRP’s need full company approval. It is not appropriate for one person to decide what data is important.
  • DRP’s need to be aware as to what and how data is managed – not all data is saved where it is meant to be!
Having said all of the above, we are also saying that DRP’s are usually worthless….no matter how well prepared unless the systems are tested!!!
