ESSENTIAL BEST PRACTICES FOR
BUSINESS CONTINUITY (BC) AND DISASTER
RECOVERY (DR) PLANNING
Monitor risk across
your environment
Monitoring risk is a must-do in any
disaster recovery and business
continuity plan. It helps
organisations identify and
understand the potential threats
to their operations and take the
necessary measures to prevent or
mitigate them. By keeping a
close eye on risk, organisations
can be better prepared for
disasters, respond faster, and
make sure their resources are
used effectively.
Choose the correct
backup method
The 3-2-2 backup strategy is an
effective way to protect your
data. It involves creating three
copies of your data, two stored
on-site and a third stored off-site
in a different geographical
region. This strategy balances
on-premises and cloud-based
protection, ensuring your data is
safe, secure, and accessible
during a disaster.
Testing and
Maintenance
It is essential to regularly check
your disaster recovery plan and
make sure it is in top-notch
shape. Testing the plan helps you
spot any weaknesses and make
sure everything is up-to-date.
Update your plan based on the
current status of your organisation
and add learnings from past BC
DR experiences. This way, you will
be prepared for anything that
comes your way.
Build a culture
of resilience
Ensuring the continuity of
operations requires a shift in
culture and mindset whereby
every employee is aware of their
role in the process. This means
that disaster recovery and
business continuity planning are
no longer the sole responsibility of
the business leadership team or IT
department but rather a
collective effort across the entire
organisation. By working
together, organisations can
ensure that operations run
smoothly no matter the situation.

DR and BC planning
