Business impact and dependency map
Critical services, systems, data, suppliers, people, acceptable downtime, and operational dependencies identified.
Data Backup & Recovery service
A disaster recovery plan your team can actually use.
Asban connects technical recovery with the people, priorities, vendors, communications, and decisions required to restore essential services after disruption.
Scope and deliverables
Disaster Recovery Planning: scope and deliverables
A typical engagement includes business impact and dependency map, recovery design and runbook and exercise and improvement plan.
Recovery design and runbook
Recovery order, environments, backups, access, contacts, communications, workarounds, and decision steps documented.
Exercise and improvement plan
A tabletop or technical exercise records gaps, owners, corrective actions, and the next testing cycle.
Practical value
What Disaster Recovery Planning should improve
The intended outcomes are priorities agreed before a crisis, faster coordinated decisions and a plan that improves through testing. Success measures are agreed around the organization's objective.
Priorities agreed before a crisis
Teams understand which services are restored first and what trade-offs have been accepted.
Faster coordinated decisions
Contacts, roles, dependencies, and recovery steps are available when normal communication may be disrupted.
A plan that improves through testing
Exercises replace assumptions with evidence and an owned remediation list.
Governance and context
Governance considerations for Disaster Recovery Planning
Recovery governance should name incident authority, service owners, access custodians, communications leads, vendors, data-residency requirements, exercise approval, and responsibility for keeping plans current.
Before you start
Common questions about Disaster Recovery Planning
What are RTO and RPO?
Recovery time objective describes a target restoration time. Recovery point objective describes acceptable data loss measured in time. Both require business agreement and technical validation.
Is disaster recovery the same as backup?
No. Backups are one dependency. Recovery also covers systems, identities, networks, communications, suppliers, staff, facilities, and the order services return.
How often should the plan be tested?
Test frequency follows risk and change. Material system, staffing, vendor, or facility changes should trigger review rather than waiting only for an annual date.
