Risk assessments in disaster recovery planning: A free risk assessment template and guide
In disaster recovery (DR) planning, once you’ve completed a business impact analysis (BIA), the next step is to perform a risk assessment.
The BIA helps identify the most critical business processes and describes the potential impact of a disruption to those processes, and a risk assessment identifies internal and external situations that could negatively impact the critical processes. It also attempts to quantify the potential severity of such events and the likelihood of them occurring.
In this guide and template on information technology (IT) risk assessments in disaster recovery planning, learn how to get started with a risk assessment; how to prepare a risk assessment; and natural vs. man-made hazards in the risk assessment process.
