Frequently asked questions
The business continuity plan organizes how priority activities are maintained. The disaster recovery plan describes how the necessary systems are brought back into service. Both rely on the same priorities and dependencies.
We review the impacts of a shutdown with the business owners. The recovery times and acceptable data loss are then compared with the information and evidence available on your technical capabilities.
No. The engagement prepares the plans and the tests to schedule. A restoration or other technical test requires a separate service, with its own access and conditions.
No. A documented objective does not prove it will be met. Known gaps are flagged, and recovery capabilities must be confirmed through appropriate tests.
The BCP/DRP organizes continuity and recovery. The incident response plan specifies the decisions, communications and actions related to the incident. How they are coordinated is defined based on the existing documents.
