Recovery plan

Sometimes an unexpected event, such as a fire, flood, or equipment failure, can cause downtime. In order to be able to continue operations as quickly and smoothly as possible, continuity planning is carried out, i.e. planning the operations in advance for these exceptional situations.

Each continuity plan shall contain at least the following information:

• Event for which the plan has been made
• Goal for recovery time
• Responsible persons and related stakeholders and contact information
• Planned immediate actions
• Planned recovery steps

The organization must document in advance procedures for responding to security breaches to ensure the actions of related departments, customers, and other critical partners in the event of a security breach.
