Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity (BC) planning are essential for any organization, as they help ensure that the company can continue to operate in the event of a disaster. However, to develop an effective disaster recovery and business continuity plan, it is critical to conduct a risk assessment on an annual basis to understand your business risk as your business changes and cyber risks grow in type and complexity.
A DR and BC risk assessment is the ongoing process of identifying and evaluating potential risks to an organization's operations, assets, and individuals. It helps organizations understand the likelihood and impact of different types of disasters and enables them to prioritize their disaster recovery and business continuity efforts accordingly.
Here are a few key reasons why a risk assessment is critical to a company's disaster recovery and business continuity programs:
In the last decade, cyber-attacks have become one of the biggest risks to an organization and the steps taken to protect against these attacks require additional assessment and planning to ensure an effective overall DR/BC program. A cyber security risk assessment is an important best practice used to protect any organization from the potential consequences of a cyber-attack. It is a process of identifying and evaluating potential vulnerabilities and threats to an organization's information systems, networks, and data. Conducting a cyber security risk assessment is critical in developing an effective disaster recovery and business continuity plan.
