Why Disaster Recovery Matters

No one expects disaster to strike. But when it does, businesses without a plan often suffer the most. Whether it’s a cyberattack, hardware failure, or power outage, the cost of downtime adds up fast.

What a DRP Is

A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is a structured approach to restoring IT systems after a disruption. It ensures continuity, reduces downtime, and protects your reputation.

Key Elements of a DRP

• Risk Assessment: Identify threats like cyberattacks or outages.
• Backup Strategy: Regular backups stored securely.
• Recovery Objectives: Clear timelines for restoring systems.
• Roles & Responsibilities: Staff know what to do during an incident.
• Testing: Regular drills so the plan actually works.

Why It Works

With a DRP, businesses can:

• Minimise downtime
• Safeguard data
• Stay compliant with regulations like POPIA
• Show resilience to clients and partners
