DRP/BCP Challenges
In short, DRP and BCP are intended to anticipate the following risks:
– a disaster such as fire, flood, storm, etc.;
– a prolonged power outage;
– an incident with the computer equipment;
– a computer threat;
– an error occurred in handling the information system;
– a network problem.
BCP, DRP, these two solutions are absolutely indispensable for a company. Two figures prove it:
– 70% of companies that are victims of a major fire close down a few months later according to the National Institute for Research and Security;
– 53% of companies lose sales within the first hour of downtime.
