Build Your First Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)

A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is a crucial part of a business. Disaster disrupts business operations, so a DRP is needed for any successful business continuity process. The main goal of a DRP is to help businesses recover quickly after an incident has occurred. Additionally, it helps to minimize the short- and long-term effects of unexpected events. In this course, instructor Racheal Popoola outlines the core components of disaster recovery, how important disaster recovery is to enhance business continuity, and what kind of assets need to be protected throughout the entire disaster recovery lifecycle. Along the way, Racheal shows you how to recognize the assets and tools needed to create an effective DRP. She also guides you through the process of building your own DRP in concrete stages, culminating in a complete sample plan.
