Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity. A quick guide for organisations and business managers

IT Governance Publishing, Thejendra B.S

This book delves into disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC), offering practical strategies for organizations to prepare for and manage disruptions. It starts by defining core concepts of DR and BC, highlighting their role in crisis management. Early chapters explore business impact analysis, data protection, and risk assessment, while examining common IT and non-IT disasters like data loss, cyberattacks, and communication failures.Later sections focus on specific disaster scenarios, such as virus attacks, software failures, and data center risks, offering prevention methods and recovery plans. It also addresses human factors in DR, covering IT staff and contractor management, and the risks tied to outsourcing and project failures.In addition to IT risks, the book explores non-IT disasters, including health crises, financial challenges, and natural events, with strategies for mitigation. The final chapters provide guidance on creating and testing contingency plans, featuring checklists and mock run procedures. This book empowers readers to design, implement, and maintain effective DR and BC plans for their organization’s needs.
