Topic 6-1: Analyze an enterprise level disaster recovery plan.
A disaster recovery plan (DRP), even if minimal, should be developed by all businesses, state and federal agencies, and even households. For this discussion board you will need to download a check list to help you build a disaster recovery plan from this link: COIS DRP Template. This DRP review check list was developed in 2009 by the California Office of Information Security (COIS) for state agencies. There are 32 meaningful items listed in this document and even though they are California state agency related items, they all have significant merit.
Assume that you work as an information technology security administrator for Northcentral Technical College and that you were instructed to provide some suggestions as to what should be on the top ten list for disaster recovery plan items for the school. I would like you review the 32 items listed in the COIS check list (attached to the discussion board forum) to help you identify these items and then I would like you to place an itemized list of your 10 choices ranked in descending order of importance (item number 1 will be the most important, whereby item number 10 will be the least important). I would also like you summarize your choices with one paragraph to state your reasons.
Topic 6-2: Analyze the requirements of a personal information technology disaster recovery plan.
Create a similar checklist that you did in Topic 6-1, however base your decision on your own personal DRP objectives. At a minimum, however, you must provide one or more of the following items:
- What is it that you need protected and WHY?
- What kind of data backups must you perform and where should they be stored?
- Provide at least 5 items.
