What is a disaster recovery plan?

A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is a documented set of procedures to quickly restore IT systems and data after a major incident (outage, ransomware, fire or human error) to minimize business interruption.

A good DRP defines recovery time (RTO) and recovery point (RPO) objectives, relies on verified backups and is tested regularly.

ITGS designs, implements and tests recovery plans suited to each organization's risk tolerance.
