How it works
Being prepared incase of a natural or manmade disaster involves a 3 step process.
Business Impact Analysis
A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is a systematic process that evaluates the potential consequences of disruptions on a business, identifying critical functions, assessing the impact of downtime, and prioritizing recovery efforts. It helps organizations understand their vulnerabilities and develop strategies to mitigate risks and ensure business continuity.
Business Continuity Planning
A business continuity plan (BCP) is a document that outlines the steps an organization will take to maintain or quickly resume critical business functions in the face of a disruption, such as a natural disaster, cyberattack, or power outage. It's essentially a "playbook" for ensuring business operations continue with minimal disruption, including a communications plan.
Disaster Recovery Testing
Disaster recovery testing is the process of verifying an organization's ability to restore data, applications, and operations after a disruption, like a natural disaster, IT failure, or cyberattack. It involves simulating various disaster scenarios to identify weaknesses in the disaster recovery plan and improve its effectiveness to limit downtime incase a real disaster happens to your business.
