Auditing Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery – Part III

As with a business continuity plan (BCP); a disaster recovery plan (DRP) contains the consistent actions to be undertaken prior to, during and after a disaster. A sound DRP is built from a comprehensive planning system, involving all of the entity’s business processes. Disaster recovery strategies include, but are not limited to:
 disaster insurance
 reciprocal agreements
 redundant data centers
 the use of alternate sites
 telecommunication links
 business impact analyses
 legal liabilities assessments
