Business technology, connectivity and data security are vitally important to both the success and sustainability of any company, and they need to be protected. No one wants to imagine the damage a natural disaster or fire can cause to a business, its people, resources and data. The time to protect your company is now, and that is why every business, like yours, needs an IT Disaster Recovery Plan (IT DRP).

IT Disaster Recovery Plan

According to Ready.gov, “An information technology disaster recovery plan (IT DRP) should be developed in conjunction with the business continuity plan. Priorities and recovery time objectives for information technology should be developed during the business impact analysis. Technology recovery strategies should be developed to restore hardware, applications and data in time to meet the needs of the business recovery.”

This includes:

  • IT Recovery Strategies
  • Data and restoration
  • Internal Recovery Strategies
  • Vendor Supported Recovery Strategies
  • Developing an IT Disaster Recovery Plan
  • Data Backup
  • Developing the Data Backup Plan
  • Options for Data Backup

Ready.gov has details on each topic, and HRCT can help design a plan that is specific to your business. Don’t wait for a disaster to happen before you protect your company’s future.
