  1. 4 ESSENTIAL BEST PRACTICES FOR BUSINESS CONTINUITY (BC) AND DISASTER RECOVERY (DR) PLANNING

  2. Monitor risk across your environment Monitoring risk is a must-do in any disaster recovery and business continuity plan. It helps organisations identify and understand the potential threats to their operations and take the necessary measures to prevent or mitigate them. By keeping a close eye on risk, organisations can be better prepared for disasters, respond faster, and make sure their resources are used effectively.

  3. Choose the correct backup method The 3-2-2 backup strategy is an effective way to protect your data. It involves creating three copies of your data, two stored on-site and a third stored off-site in a different geographical region. This strategy balances on-premises and cloud-based protection, ensuring your data is safe, secure, and accessible during a disaster.

  4. Testing and Maintenance It is essential to regularly check your disaster recovery plan and make sure it is in top-notch shape. Testing the plan helps you spot any weaknesses and make sure everything is up-to-date. Update your plan based on the current status of your organisation and add learnings from past BC DR experiences. This way, you will be prepared for anything that comes your way.

  5. Build a culture of resilience Ensuring the continuity of operations requires a shift in culture and mindset whereby every employee is aware of their role in the process. This means that disaster recovery and business continuity planning are no longer the sole responsibility of the business leadership team or IT department but rather a collective effort across the entire organisation. By working together, organisations can ensure that operations run smoothly no matter the situation.
