Disaster Recovery Planning and Business Continuity

How to prepare your business for unexpected disruptions and recover to normal operations quickly.

Disaster recovery planning prepares your organization to respond to major disruptions — whether from cybersecurity incidents, hardware failures, or natural disasters. Business continuity planning ensures that critical business functions continue despite disruption.

Key Planning Concepts

  • RTO (Recovery Time Objective) — How long your business can operate without a critical system
  • RPO (Recovery Point Objective) — How much data loss is acceptable
  • Critical systems ranking — Which systems must recover first
  • Recovery procedures — Step-by-step processes for restoring each system
  • Communication plans — How to notify stakeholders during a disruption

Planning That Actually Works

Many businesses have disaster recovery plans that sit in a drawer and are never updated or tested. The most effective plans are owned by someone, updated annually, and practiced through tabletop exercises and full recovery tests.
