Disaster Recovery Plan: A documented, structured approach with instructions for responding to unplanned incidents such as natural disasters, power outages, cyberattacks, and other disruptive events. This plan outlines measures to minimize the effects of a disaster so an organization can continue to operate or quickly resume mission-critical functions. The disaster recovery plan typically covers data backup and recovery, maintenance of critical systems, chain of command, and testing and drills to ensure readiness. It is an essential part of an organization’s business continuity planning.
