Water, wind, and fire can wreak much havoc on any legal organization. Protecting your networks and technologies to assure a swift recovery is no easy task. Recovery plans must be simple, yet sufficiently comprehensive to work in the potentially chaotic aftermath of any event that triggers a system failure. How can you tell if your plans are up to snuff? For starters, be sure you can answer these five basic questions.
1. WHO will be able to execute your recovery plan in the event of a system failure? Does your firm have a designated recovery person? Assign one person to take responsibility if the primary recovery person is unavailable; designate others to back up key people. If your firm has data centers in multiple offices or regions, you may also want to appoint people who are geographically dispersed in case a local disaster leaves the main IT staff inaccessible.
