Work Plan
Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity Audit Program
Preparation for Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity in light of mandated and industry regulated requirements such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, ISO, and SOX has two primary parts.
The first is putting systems in place to completely protect all financial and other data required to meet the reporting regulations and to archive the data to meet future requests for clarification of those reports.
The second is to clearly and expressly document all these procedures so that in the event of a SOX audit, the auditors clearly see that the DR plan exists and will appropriately protect the data.
Experts Agree You Should Update Your Plan Annually
It goes without saying that every company, regardless of size, needs a concise business continuity plan in case of an emergency. If you don't have a disaster recovery plan or haven't updated yours recently, now is the time to take this critical step to protect your business.
At the same time there are more security requirements that need to be met. Executive management is depending on you to have the right security policies and procedures in place.
Chief Information Officers and Chief Security Officers need to have DRP and Security policies and procedures in place that address all of the issues of management and these templates meet this need.
