This plan is designed to mitigate the impact of such events on critical IT services.

5. Recovery Objectives (RTO/RPO Targets)

Recovery objectives define the acceptable levels of data loss and downtime for critical systems. These targets are based on business impact analysis (BIA) and criticality.

| Critical System/Application | Recovery Time Objective (RTO) | Recovery Point Objective (RPO) | Business Impact Justification |

| :-------------------------- | :------------------------------ | :------------------------------ | :---------------------------- |

| Tier 0 (Mission Critical) | | | |

| Core ERP System | 4 hours | 1 hour | Direct revenue impact, legal/compliance risk |

| Primary Customer Portal | 2 hours | 30 minutes | Customer satisfaction, sales, brand reputation |

| Key Financial Systems | 4 hours | 1 hour | Financial reporting, legal/compliance |

| Tier 1 (Business Critical)| | | |

| CRM System | 8 hours | 4 hours | Sales operations, customer service |

| Email Services | 6 hours | 2 hours | Internal/external communication |

| Internal Collaboration Tools| 12 hours | 4 hours | Employee productivity |

| Tier 2 (Business Support) | | | |

| HR System | 24 hours | 8 hours | HR operations, payroll |

| Development/Test Environments| 48 hours | 24 hours | Project delays |

• RTO (Recovery Time Objective): The maximum acceptable duration of time that a business process can be interrupted without causing unacceptable damage.
• RPO (Recovery Point Objective): The maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time.

6. Backup and Data Recovery Strategy

A robust backup strategy is fundamental to achieving RPO targets.

6.1. Backup Types and Frequency

• Full Backups: Weekly for all critical systems and data. Stored off-site.
• Incremental Backups: Daily for all critical systems and data, capturing changes since the last backup. Stored off-site.
• Differential Backups: (Optional, if applicable) Daily for specific high-change data, capturing changes since the last full backup. Stored off-site.
• Database Transaction Logs: Continuously shipped (e.g., SQL AlwaysOn, Oracle Data Guard) or frequently backed up (every 15-30 minutes) for mission-critical databases to meet RPO targets.
• Cloud Snapshots: Regular snapshots of critical VMs and cloud services (e.g., AWS EBS snapshots, Azure VM backups).

6.2. Backup Storage Locations and Retention

• On-site: Short-term backups (e.g., 7 days) for quick recovery from minor incidents.
• Off-site (Secure Data Center): Long-term backups (e.g., 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, 7 years for compliance) stored in a geographically separate, secure facility.
• Cloud Storage (Immutable): Primary off-site storage for critical data, utilizing object storage with immutability features to protect against ransomware and accidental deletion. Encryption at rest and in transit is mandatory.
• Retention Policy:

* Daily backups: 7 days

* Weekly full backups: 4 weeks

* Monthly full backups: 12 months

* Annual full backups: 7 years (or as per compliance requirements)

6.3. Data Restoration Procedures

• Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Detailed, documented procedures for restoring different types of data (files, databases, entire VMs) from various backup sources.
• Verification: Post-restoration data integrity checks and application functionality testing are mandatory.
• Priority: Restoration will follow the RTO/RPO priority matrix (Section 5).

6.4. Encryption and Security

All backups, whether in transit or at rest, must be encrypted using industry-standard protocols (e.g., AES-256). Access to backup systems and storage locations will be restricted to authorized personnel only, utilizing multi-factor authentication (MFA) and least privilege principles.

7. Disaster Detection and Activation

7.1. Monitoring Systems

• Infrastructure Monitoring: Tools (e.g., Nagios, Zabbix, Datadog) to monitor server health, network status, storage capacity, and application performance.
• Security Information and Event Management (SIEM): Real-time monitoring for security incidents, unauthorized access, and anomalous behavior.
• Environmental Monitoring: Sensors for power, temperature, humidity, and fire detection in data centers.

7.2. Incident Classification

Incidents will be classified based on severity and impact to determine if DRP activation is required.

• Minor Incident: Localized outage, single server failure. Handled by standard IT operations.
• Major Incident: Multiple critical systems down, significant data loss risk, extended outage. DRP activation may be considered.
• Disaster: Catastrophic failure of primary data center/site, widespread system failure, inability to recover within RTOs using standard procedures. DRP Activation Required.

7.3. DRP Activation Criteria

The DR Coordinator, in consultation with executive management, will activate the DRP if any of the following conditions are met:

• Inability to restore critical services within their defined RTO using standard operational procedures.
• Physical destruction or inaccessibility of the primary data center/site.
• Widespread data corruption or loss impacting multiple critical systems.
• A declared emergency by public authorities impacting the primary facility.
• Significant cyberattack rendering primary systems unusable and unrecoverable without invoking DR.

8. Failover and Recovery Procedures

This section outlines the step-by-step process for recovering from a declared disaster.

8.1. Phase 1: Notification and Assessment (0-1 hour)

1. Detect Disaster: Monitoring systems alert or personnel report incident.
2. Verify Incident: Initial assessment by IT Operations to confirm the nature and scope of the event.
3. Notify DR Coordinator: Immediate notification to the DR Coordinator.
4. DR Coordinator Decision: DR Coordinator assesses the situation and decides whether to activate the DRP.
5. Assemble DR Team: Activate DRT via pre-defined communication channels (SMS, conference bridge).
6. Initial Briefing: DRT convenes to review the situation, confirm DRP activation, and assign initial tasks.

8.2. Phase 2: Activation and Isolation (1-2 hours)

1. Isolate Primary Systems: If the primary site is compromised (e.g., cyberattack), ensure full isolation to prevent further damage or spread.
2. Declare Disaster: Official declaration by DR Coordinator.
3. Notify Stakeholders: Initiate internal and external communication as per the Communication Plan (Section 9).
4. Access Recovery Site: Ensure secure access to the designated recovery environment (e.g., secondary data center, cloud region).

8.3. Phase 3: Recovery Site Infrastructure Activation (2-4 hours)

1. Network Configuration: Configure network connectivity, firewalls, VPNs, and DNS at the recovery site.
2. Server Provisioning: Provision or scale up virtual machines/instances in the recovery environment based on critical system requirements.
