Creating the Right Disaster Recovery (DR) Plan

Protect your business-critical applications & data

The impact of data loss or corruption from human error, natural disaster, hardware failure, malware, or hacking can be significant. To maintain or quickly resume mission-critical functions following a disruption, you must have a disaster recovery strategy in place. But DR plans are not “one-size-fits-all”. Disaster recovery and business continuity go hand-in-hand. Priorities for IT should be consistent with the priorities for recovery of business functions. GCSIT can help.

Be Responsive. Be Preventative.

The “responsive” portion of a disaster recovery plan outlines numerous disaster scenarios and defines the detailed responses to each. The goal is to minimize the impact of the negative event as much as possible. The “preventative” part entails identifying specific scenarios that could have a negative impact and defining what you need to do in order to avoid them.

Personalize Your Cloud Disaster Recovery Protocols

Shield your proprietary information and sensitive data with targeted disaster recovery solutions.

Whether your organization suffered from a physical event that compromised the functionality of your hardware or a data breach that put your business’s future in peril, data storage disasters can create long-term problems for your company’s reputation and bottom line. The ability to restore your operations and get back to work is crucial; a disaster recovery plan can mean the difference between getting your operations back on track efficiently and productively and losing your informational assets.

Your plan must be tailored to your organization’s unique needs, practices, and IT infrastructure.

How responsive are your disaster recovery solutions?

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Cliched? Yes. True? Also yes. Having a responsive disaster recovery plan that forecasts different disaster scenarios and how they affect your operations helps you craft a highly dexterous response that can effectively mitigate much of the damage. When you isolate the different ways a disaster can impact your operations cross-departmentally, you empower yourself with the ability to weather any storm. GCSIT disaster recovery services put you in control. Your business, your response, our expertise.

Designing Your Disaster Recovery Plan

Understanding what your disaster recovery should achieve is the first step in crafting disaster recovery solutions. Well-executed crisis management strategies should allow team members to pivot towards a direct response to the specific type of event, which might be one or more of the following:

  • Natural disaster
  • Cyberattack
  • Ransomware attack
  • IT failure
  • Structural failure (building)
  • Property disaster
  • City-wide disaster
  • State/National disaster

While each of these situations can result in a similar outcome, namely impeding your business’s ability to operate, they each require specific responses. The nature of the disaster will often determine the extent of the damage and the elements that are affected, so design individual response protocols for your team for each scenario. Your plan must give you the tools and guidance you need to achieve the following:

  • Limit interruptions to business operations
  • Minimize physical damages
  • Assure team members are able to execute the disaster recovery action plan quickly
  • Immediate restoration of mission critical functions and services
  • Protect sensitive client data and your company’s intellectual property
