REZOOM Operations Guide: A Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning Solution

A Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plan (DRBCP) is a blueprint to rely upon while your business is recovering from a significant disaster or event that would have resulted in an outage. A good DRBCP will provide a plan for orderly recovery from small outages, such as an internet hiccup as well as a major disaster such as an earthquake that could cause significant injury, death and destruction. This Guide has been designed to walk a novice thru the process of creating a DRBCP for a small business. We will introduce you to Risk Management terminology and best practices as we follow our 8 step DRBCP development process. Once you have completed all of the forms, you will have drafted your Plan. The DRBCP forms are included on the REZOOM ™ flash drive located in the inside of the back cover. A copy of each form is also included in the Form Library chapter of this Guide. The DRBCP is a living document that will require periodic updates and testing to remain relevant. We will provide testing scenarios and guidance for distributing, updating and securing your plan. Since many small businesses today require a robust DRBCP to bid for government agency and large corporation business as well as secure financing, we have benchmarked our Guide forms to meet ISO 27002 standards as they relate to business continuity.
