BCP/DRP

The Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Plan is a template you fill in to prepare your company for a major IT outage or cyberattack, so you can keep operating and recover quickly.

The document has two parts:

• Part 1, the framework: written by Stoïk and the same for every insured company. It explains how to analyze your risks, organize crisis governance, operate in degraded mode, communicate, and maintain the plan. It is not meant to be edited.

• Part 2, your plan: the tables and forms you complete with your own specifics (contacts, priority risks, critical activities, recovery objectives, IT recovery procedures). This is the part you activate during a crisis.

Why download it

• A plan that exists and gets used beats a perfect plan forgotten in a drawer.

• It makes you decide in advance, and calmly, what matters most and who does what, instead of improvising mid-crisis.

• It has to stay available even when all your IT systems are down, which is only possible if you have prepared and printed it beforehand.
