As organisations exercise (components of) their Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in response to the global pandemic, now is the time to also focus on IT continuity. Just as many of us have thought the likelihood of ever executing our BCP is low, recent events have demonstrated that this may no longer be the case.
The same applies for IT continuity, perhaps better known as Disaster Recovery (DR). Many organisations have paid lip service to this over the years and are exposed such that, if a core system suddenly becomes unavailable, business operations that this system supports will cease.
This whitepaper guides the reader through the process to assess and improve the DR capability by focussing on process and technology capability improvements.
