Disaster Recovery Plan

1. Purpose
The purpose of this Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is to define the procedures and strategies for
restoring IT systems, applications, and data in the event of a disruption. This plan ensures that
the Company can recover critical technology resources efficiently to minimize downtime and
operational impact.

2. Scope
This plan applies to all IT infrastructure, cloud services, applications, and data critical to the
Company’s operations. It covers disaster scenarios, including cyberattacks, hardware failures,
natural disasters, and other events that may disrupt IT services.

3. Recovery Objectives
To guide disaster recovery efforts, the following objectives are established:

● Recovery Time Objective (RTO): Maximum acceptable downtime before systems must
be restored.
● Recovery Point Objective (RPO): Maximum acceptable data loss in terms of time
before recovery is required.
● Critical Systems Priority: Categorization of systems based on business impact,
ensuring high-priority services are restored first.

4. Disaster Recovery Strategies


The Company employs multiple strategies to ensure rapid restoration of IT services:

● Data Backup & Replication: Regular backups must be conducted and stored securely,
including offsite and cloud-based replication.
● Failover & Redundancy: High-availability solutions, such as redundant servers and
cloud failover, must be in place for critical systems.
● Cloud & Hybrid Recovery: Cloud-based recovery plans must be implemented for
seamless failover and data restoration.
● Third-Party Services: Contracts with disaster recovery service providers must be
established where applicable.

5. Disaster Response & Activation

● The Incident Response Team (IRT) must be notified in accordance with the Incident
Response Plan.
● The Incident Response Team (IRT) will assess and confirm the severity of an incident
and decide on the activation of disaster recovery processes.
● Key stakeholders must be notified, including IT leadership and business unit managers.
● If necessary, alternative recovery sites or cloud environments must be utilized.

6. System Restoration Process

● Assessment: Determine the extent of damage and impact.


● Containment: Isolate affected systems to prevent further damage.
● Restoration: Implement recovery solutions, including backup restoration and failover
mechanisms.
● Validation: Test restored systems to ensure full functionality before resuming business
operations.

7. Roles and Responsibilities

● Incident Response Team (IRT): Oversees DRP execution and coordinates recovery
efforts.
● IT Infrastructure Team: Manages system recovery, backup restoration, and cloud
failover processes.
● Business Unit Leaders: Communicate business priorities and validate restored
systems.
● Security & Compliance Team: Ensures recovery efforts comply with security policies
and regulatory requirements.

8. Testing & Continuous Improvement

● Regular disaster recovery drills must be conducted to validate the effectiveness of


recovery procedures.
● Backup restoration tests must be performed periodically to ensure data integrity.
● Lessons learned from incidents and drills must be documented and incorporated into
plan updates.

9. Plan Review and Maintenance


This Disaster Recovery Plan must be reviewed annually or after any significant IT or business
changes to ensure alignment with operational needs and evolving threats.
