This Disaster Recovery Plan Template (DRP) can be used for any sized enterprise. The template and supporting material have been updated to be Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA compliant. It comes as both a Word document and a static fully indexed PDF document. The DRP/BCP electonic file includes:

  • Template (WORD and PDF)
  • Business and IT Impact Analysis Questionnaire
  • Work Plan
  • Audit Program
  • Pandemic Planning Checklist

Preparation for an catastrophic event in light of SOX has two primary parts. The first is putting systems in place to completely protect all financial and other data required to meet the reporting regulations and to archive the data to meet future requests for clarification of those reports. The second is to clearly and expressly document all these procedures so that in the event of a SOX audit, the auditors clearly see that the DRP exists and will appropriately protect the data.
