Disaster Recovery Planning
Structured works with businesses to develop disaster recovery plans that are designed to get organizations up and running as quickly as possible in the event of a disaster. These Data Recovery Planning Solutions are comprehensive and include:
- Risk Assessment— Assessment of the risk and business impacts of various disasters, including natural, technical and human threats.
- Priority Establishment— Evaluation of the procedures and equipment required to continue operations for each functional group and department within the organization.
- Recovery Strategy Development— Evaluation of alternatives for recovering operations when hardware, software, facilities, communications channels and other functions are compromised. Alternatives can include remote data centers or fully redundant hot sites.
- Data Collection— The collection of important data such as contact information for critical personnel, inventories of hardware and software, insurance policies and notification checklists. Structured helps customers organize and facilitate their data gathering.
- Plan Documentation—Documentation helps provide the roadmap final procedure development. Structured provides direction on assigning specific responsibilities (e.g., administrative functions, facilities, user support, data backup and restoration, etc.) to members of the recovery team.
- Testing and Approval— All good DR plans need to be tested and evaluated on a regular basis. Structured can help determine the feasibility of your organizations’ DR plans and identify areas for modification. Structured will also facilitate authorization by getting your top management to approve policies, procedures, responsibilities and regular updates to the plan.
