The documentation of the business and technology response, recovery, and restoration procedures for each department in the organization is absolutely critical. Without accurately documented plans, organizations could be scrambling to identify which personnel, systems, or processes are required to recover. These plans should outline recovery procedures in a team- and role-based manner, with incident checklists, and should be laid out chronologically with assigned plan coordinators who oversee the distribution and storage of their plan. It is a best practice to store both a hard-copy and a soft-copy of the recovery plans at the primary operating location and an off-site location.
