Recovery Strategies |
It is essential to have in place recovery strategies which will enable the organisation to respond effectively and efficiently to an adverse situation and bring affected operations back to normal running within the optimum timeframe required to keep interruptions and impacts to a minimum.
Recovery strategies normally include the response hierarchy, i.e. who is responsible for doing what post incident, as well as the contingencies and the technical and operational measures which would be utilised. Hence recovery strategies will encompass data management, the ability to resurrect IT and telephony services and who should work from where if the normal work location is no longer in use.
Clearly any recovery strategy must be based on the requirements of the organisation, which normally include: -
- the recovery priority for functions, processes and services
- the workspace required to house any key staff who have been displaced by the incident
- critical data and systems and when these need to be available, including any data loss which is sustainable
- the technology, telephony and other resources required to meet the needs of the critical functions, processes and services.
Recovery strategies can utilise in-house solutions, specialist arrangements with third parties or a mixture of the two.
