The Real Threat
In an increasingly connected, electronically driven marketplace, your business depends on how quickly you can recover in the event of a data loss. Data is one of the most critical assets in the business world today, and protecting that data must be considered a top priority. In light of near daily exposure to viruses, hardware failure, theft, human error, sabotage, power outages and even natural disasters, the costs and consequences involved with even temporary data loss can pose a significant threat to any company.
Most companies continue to try to protect their data assets using ad hoc, fragmented and quite often ineffective policies of distributed legacy tape devices, manual routines and onsite media storage, creating a frustrating array of management challenges that plague C Level management and IT professionals. Secure, automated, offsite protection is the most effective solution to your regulatory issues. But even the best technology solution is of little value without a carefully designed Disaster Recovery Plan.
The Crucial Plan
It is vital that organizations of any size take the development and maintenance of a formal Disaster Recovery Plan seriously. Because data loss can happen at any time, the plan must be able to be put into action quickly and easily. To aid this process, C Level and IT management need to cooperate and communicate with every level of an organization.
Categorizing and prioritizing your data is a good place to start a Disaster Recovery Plan. Carefully create a list of all necessary files, documents and important information, taking care to ensure that confidentiality is not compromised. This list should be developed along side a descriptive list of your organization's major business areas ranked by importance. Further cataloguing of key business processes, system dependencies, communications, and personnel generally follows.
Performing a regular review of your Disaster Recovery Plan is an absolute necessity, yet many companies rarely do, placing themselves in a costly position should disaster strike. A careful review allows for an accurate assessment of potential risks to your organization and the impact these risks could have on performance. This allows you to better prepare for the wide array of threats that your company could face at any time.
A properly developed plan will also allow your company’s management to create a financial plan to lower costs associated with disaster recovery, as well as analysis of the adequacy of current safeguards and security measures. Other factors for consideration include:
- Alternative business process handing
- Customer service and administrative procedures
- Insurance Coverage
- Systems back-up and recovery methods
