Disaster Recovery Plan

Provide an overview of the organization that will be delivered to senior management, defining the business goals and objectives and the size, layout, and structure of the organization.

Include a diagram of the organization’s network architecture and the proposed network architecture of an alternate computing facility in the event of a disaster (or the actual network architecture of the alternate computing facility if one already exists) using the graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open-source alternative such as Dia.

Include charts or diagrams created in MS Visio or Dia as an appendix of the infrastructure document. All references to these diagrams must be included in the body of the infrastructure document.

Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length. Develop the DRP policy, including:

• Disaster declaration.
• Assessment of security.
• Potential disaster scenarios and methods of dealing with the disaster.
• Disaster recovery procedures.

Develop an incident response team (IRT) charter that includes the following sections:

• Executive summary.
• Mission statement.
• Incident declaration.
• Organizational structure.
• Roles and responsibilities.
• Information flow and methods of communication.
• Methods and services provided by the IRT.
• Authority and reporting procedures.
