Over the last few decades, Disaster Recovery (DR) Planning has emerged as an indispensable component for organizations' resilience strategies. With the ubiquity of Digital Transformation, data usage, and the increasing reliance on IT infrastructure, the importance of DR has escalated, especially as cyber threats, data breaches, and IT system failures pose significant risks to operational continuity.

DR Planning ensures that organizations can rapidly recover critical IT systems and data after a disruption, which is essential for maintaining business operations, protecting sensitive information, and upholding customer trust in an era where digital availability is crucial.

The DR Planning Checklist serves as a useful tool to help organizations manage the critical aspects of preparedness, response, and recovery, as it relates to data security and IT infrastructure. This presentation provides a robust Disaster Recovery Planning Checklist, which delineates 53 checklist items.

This comprehensive checklist outlines actionable steps, critical considerations, verification measures, and key deliverables specific to DR Planning and IT recovery efforts.

By utilizing the DR Planning Checklist, organizations can effectively orchestrate their disaster recovery strategies, prioritize the restoration of critical IT services, and ensure a systematic approach to data recovery. This facilitates a more efficient recovery process, reduces the risk of data loss, and minimizes operational downtime. The checklist also supports ongoing improvements to disaster recovery plans by providing a structured framework for regular reviews, updates, and testing of DR procedures, thereby enhancing organizational resilience against IT disruptions.

This checklist is excerpted from the full Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Checklist, which contains many other sections, including Risk Assessment & Impact Analysis, Emergency Response & Management, and Testing & Exercises.
