DISASTER RECOVERY EXCEL DESCRIPTION
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning Playbook
Regulators are asking for evidence of operational resilience and you cannot produce it. Your business impact analysis is outdated, your recovery plans are untested, and your third-party dependencies are not mapped.
Operational disruptions cost financial institutions an average of $5.9 million per incident. DORA non-compliance penalties can reach 1% of average daily worldwide turnover.
Go from untested continuity plans to a structured resilience programme with every critical service mapped, every scenario tested, and every recovery procedure documented and rehearsed.
Operational resilience programmes from Big Four firms cost $200,000 to $750,000. DORA gap assessments alone run $50,000 to $100,000. This playbook gives you the same structured methodology, tools, and frameworks for a fraction of the cost.
