ABSTRACT

Business resumption and disaster recovery planning is probably the part of information security that is easiest to overlook and postpone. Perhaps that is because few people actually enjoy preparing a business resumption plan. Like insurance, it is something one hopes is never needed; and because it is an inexact science at best, one is rarely sure that it has been completed correctly. More often, however, no one intentionally delays business resumption planning; it just does not happen-because of other job pressures, deadlines, and more seemingly urgent demands on one’s time.
