WHAT TO INCLUDE IN AN
RECOVERY PLAN
IT DISASTER
www.callone.com
INVENTORY EVERYTHING
Before diving into details, inventory everything your network
needs to function: local hardware, software
(both on premises and as-a-service) and cloud-based services.
This lets you identify a baseline protection layer.
RECOGNIZE RISK
Seek out potential weak points in your infrastructure or holes in
your network and evaluate the potential for IT compromise.
COMMUNICATE COMMON CAUSES
Talk to both IT pros and frontline staff to identify common sources of
potential disaster. These might include cyber attacks, natural disasters,
and human error related to IT service use or accidental compromise.
MAKE A CONTACT LIST
Create an “in case of emergency” list that contains accurate contact
details for key employees, vendors and stakeholders. Update it regularly.
ASSIGN RESPONSIBILITIES
Decide who on your team is responsible for what. One IT pro might
be tasked with determining disaster origins, while another works
on migrating backups or restoring key services. You thus limit
overlapping, as well as overlooking entire tasks.
DEFINE PLAN ACTIVATION
What happens when the call comes in? Is 24/7 response
expected, and do you need workers present on site, or are you
willing to provide remote connection support?
DETAIL EXECUTION
Beyond roles and responsibilities, it’s worth detailing the ideal
sequence of events during a disaster. For example, are hot-site
backups the top priority, or do you want IT pros containing the situation
on the ground? Things won’t always go according to plan; prioritizing
helps ensure you don’t forget key steps.
TEST, TEST, TEST
Improve disaster response before disaster strikes: Test, test, and
then test some more. Run scheduled tests, random tests, and
occasionally a fully simulated attack to see what happens.
Recovery teams get used to dealing with the unexpected, and
testing helps identify network weaknesses.
LOOK FOR HELP
Sometimes you can’t do it all. To bridge the gap, many companies
turn to cloud-based disaster recovery services for data backup and
recovery solutions that work independently of local servers. This does
not substitute for having an on-site plan, but can increase your
chances of meeting recovery time and recovery point objectives.
