What is a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)?
A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is a structured approach to restoring IT systems, data, and infrastructure after a disruption. It focuses on technical recovery processes following incidents such as cyber attacks, system failures, or disasters.
DRP is closely tied to Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and is guided by metrics such as Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
What is a Disaster Recovery Plan used for?
DRP is used to ensure rapid recovery of systems and minimize downtime and data loss. It defines procedures for restoring services and maintaining operational continuity.
Organizations rely on DRP to respond to incidents such as Ransomware, Wiper attacks, and infrastructure failures, ensuring alignment with resilience goals and Security Posture improvements.
