DR/BCP Development

Preparing for the worst can help your business reduce risk and weather any storm — literally and figuratively.

You can't control everything, but you can prepare for almost anything.

A well-constructed IT disaster recovery and business continuity plan (DR/BCP) is essential for every business, to reduce risk and ensure that the organization can survive a significant disaster event. DR/BCP plans also help achieve regulatory compliance and meet customer demands or internal objectives to achieve business viability.

Unfortunately, DR/BCP planning and development often doesn’t get the attention or resources it needs to provide value beyond meeting a compliance checkbox. It’s easier to stay focused on any immediate, tangible problems and dismiss the hypothetical. But we believe that mature, professional technology leadership requires thoughtful DR/BCP planning and regular plan testing.

Rule4 will establish and test a comprehensive IT disaster recovery and business continuity plan that:

Identifies business impacts of a disaster
Identifies teams, roles, and responsibilities
Identifies practical recovery approaches and procedures
Establishes reasonable and achievable RTOs and RPOs
Documents appropriate recovery workflow
Identifies gaps in required resources to achieve agreed-upon RTOs and RPOs
Recommends solutions to reduce or mitigate gaps in restoration capabilities

Planning can be painful, but having a plan is priceless.

We’ll help your team build a plan that will guide your organization’s response in any circumstances, from a flood to a pandemic.
