3 Overview [Insert Company Logo] Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning (BCDRP) refers to an organization s ability to effectively plan and recover from a disaster and/or unexpected event, ultimately resuming operations as necessary. While there are numerous terms and phrases that encompass the broader subject of BCDRP, with countless numbers of organizations, industry associations, and best practices advocated, they all essentially illustrate a consistent theme, which is properly planning for the unexpected and hoping to recover as quickly and comprehensively as possible. A comprehensive BCDRP template should include, at a minimum, the following elements: Critical Business Information Business Continuity and Disaster Recover Planning (BCDRP) Personnel Additional Personnel Meeting Information Potential Hazards Critical Organizational Assets - Information Systems Organizational Assets Matrix Critical Organization Assets Prioritization of Critical Applications and Data Critical Organizational Assets Personnel Critical Organizational Assets Facilities Critical Organizational Assets Equipment Critical Organizational Assets Other Critical Operations Critical Third Party Entities Data Recovery Initiatives Alternate Locations Critical Recovery Location Supplies List Miscellaneous Recovery Location Supplies List Employees and Workforce Members Notification Procedures Testing Procedures Insurance Information Appendix A: Emergency Mode Operation Plan Appendix B: Testing and Revision Procedures Appendix C: Applications and Data Criticality Analysis Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning (BCDRP) Manual 3

7 Meeting Information Note: It is critically important for all BCDRP personnel to meet on a regular basis for helping ensure the adequacy and sufficiency of the plan itself. As such, the following matrix is to contain vital information regarding the date, time, location, and matters discussed regarding the BCDRP initiatives. Date Time Location General Subject Matter Discussed Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning (BCDRP) Manual 7
8 Potential Hazards Note: It is critically important to identify all potential hazards which can cause serious interruption to one s business, along with challenges for resuming critical operations. Fire Potential Hazard Response Measures to Such Hazards Hazardous or Chemical release incident Flood or Flash Flood Winter or Severe Storm Earthquake Communications Failure Radiological or Explosive accident Bomb Threat - Civil Disturbance Loss of Key Supplier, Customer or Employee Data Loss or Compromise Pandemic Influenza Terrorist Event Foreign or Domestic Fire Other Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning (BCDRP) Manual 8
9 Critical Organizational Assets Information Systems Securing an organization's critical information systems landscape is highly dependent upon a number of industry leading initiatives, such as system provisioning and hardening, defense-in-depth and layered security, along with numerous other provisions. Yet just as important is the ability to comprehensively document and record all organizational assets - computers, hardware, software, etc. - anything of value to an entity. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) describes an asset as Anything that has value to an organization, including, but not limited to, another organization, person, computing device, information technology (IT) system, IT network, IT circuit, software (both an installed instance and a physical instance), virtual computing platform (common in cloud and virtualized computing), and related hardware (e.g. locks, cabinets, keyboards). Knowing all of your assets, along with detailed information regarding various elements, is a must for information security best practices. After all, you can t protect what you don t know you have, thus information asset inventory & identification is critical for today s security conscious organizations. While there are a number of asset inventory software systems currently available, many tend to target large, enterprise-wide organizations, though they can still be useful for smaller organizations, or just for purposes of focusing on information assets. Simply search for I.T. asset inventory management software and you ll find numerous providers. At a minimum, the following elements (i.e., identifiers ) are to be used for information asset inventory & identification, when applicable: Type of system resource Network devices (firewalls, routers, switches, load balancers, etc.) Type of system resource Servers (physical and or/logical, and the underlying operating systems and applications residing on such servers). Version number or application type Primary function Physical element: A stand-alone product, or a virtual element, such as an instance, etc. Internal hostname Name of product or solution (such as the vendor purchased from) Serial number some other type of non-hostname identification element Relevant IP or routing information (if applicable) Physical location Logical location Party or parties responsible for system administration End users of system (if applicable) Detailed listing of any regulatory compliance mandates, such as those for PCI compliance, SSAE 16 reporting, HIPAA, FISMA, GLBA, etc. Detailed listing of any solutions configured onto or supporting the system resource if applicable, such as the following: o Audit trails and logging o File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) Change Detection Software (CDS) o Anti-virus o Other Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning (BCDRP) Manual 9

11 Critical Organization Assets Prioritization of Critical Applications and Data It is important to have in place a prioritized list of specific applications and data for helping determine which applications or information systems get restored first and/or which must be available at all times. Please list such information in the following tables below: Application Priority Ranking (1 to 99) Hostname of Server for which Application Resides on Application Description Serial Number Physical Location Asset Owner Asset Users Does Asset Contain PII? Other Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning (BCDRP) Manual 11
12 Critical Organizational Assets Personnel, Facilities, Equipment, Other Critical organizational assets include much more than information systems, they also include personnel, facilities, equipment, and other applicable assets. It is therefore important to comprehensively identify such assets, along with providing vital information for each item, and most importantly, what impact would they have on your business if such assets were not readily available, destroyed, damaged, missing, etc. Critical Organization Assets (PERSONNEL) Impact on your business if such assets were not readily available, destroyed, damaged, missing, etc. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning (BCDRP) Manual 12

19 Critical Third Party Entities Organizations today often rely on the services of many downstream third-party service providers, ranging from operational services to highly essential information security services, and much more. It is therefore important to list and thoroughly document all relevant third-party service providers, and the procedures the organization will undertake for ensuring continuation of services (as much as possible) from the relevant third-party providers.
