What: Specifically focused on the IT aspects of restoring systems and data after a major incident.
Who: IT-focused frameworks exist (NIST 800-34, etc.). Companies customize to their technology stack.
Why: Entrepreneurs may be completely sunk if their data is lost. Restoration speed is critical.
When: Alongside broader BCP development. If your business relies heavily on tech, don’t skimp here.
How:
-
- Know your Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) – how long can you be down?
- Design backups and redundancies to meet those RTOs.
