One of the first steps in developing a disaster recovery and business continuity plan is to create a list of all necessary documents and information. Because some documents may contain sensitive information, care must be taken to ensure that confidentiality is not compromised.
The following is a list of some of the documents you may want to include:
- Organization chart showing names and positions
- Existing plan (if available)
- Staff emergency contact information
- List of suppliers and contact numbers
- List of emergency services and contact numbers
- Premises addresses and maps
- Existing evacuation procedures and fire regulations
- Health and Safety procedures
- Operations and Administrative procedures
- List of professional advisers and emergency contact information
- Personnel administrative procedures
- Copies of floor plans
- Asset inventories
- Inventories of information assets
- IT inventories
- IT system specification
- Communication system specification
- Copies of maintenance agreements / service level agreements
- Off-site storage procedures
- Relevant industry regulations and guidelines
- Insurance information
