Case Study # 2: Integrating Disaster Recovery/IT Service Continuity with CSIA 350 IT Governance Frameworks Professor: Mario Camilien Charles Kim Introduction to the Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Plan Disaster Recovery (DR) plans are a necessity in the digital world of today. Dependence on digital content and IT services is critical to daily operations. Disaster recovery plans provide systematic approaches to recovering a system after a natural or cybersecurity disruption. These plans are intended to reduce the negative impact on business operations. Disaster recovery plans identify critical components and prioritize systems that require the shortest mean time to repair. DisasterWhat can happen to that data? (Margetis, L., & Ushman, D. (2014, March 10). Sandhill.com, from http://sandhill.com/article/implementing-a-disaster-recovery-plan/) Cybersecurity attacks can harm a business just like natural disasters can. A disaster recovery plan must take into account natural disasters and cybersecurity attacks. Cybersecurity can disrupt operations and even cause credibility issues, which can be detrimental to a business. When cybersecurity attacks occur, information security teams must focus on the organization's network perimeter and internal infrastructure (Kirvan, 2015). Human errors have been correlated with a very high rate of data loss (Sandhill, (n.d.). A strategic framework for IT disaster recovery assessments.
