Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCP & DR): A Roadmap for Medium-Sized Organizations

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

In today’s digital-first world, even a brief IT outage or cyber incident can disrupt business, erode customer trust, and result in significant financial loss. For medium-sized organizations, robust Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Disaster Recovery (DR) are no longer optional-they are essential for resilience and growth.

Why BCP & DR Matter for Your Business

Medium-sized businesses often rely on a mix of legacy and modern applications, cloud platforms, and custom solutions1. This complexity increases risk: a server failure, ransomware attack, or data center outage can halt operations, impact compliance, and damage your reputation.

Key Steps to a Resilient BCP & DR Strategy

1. Assess Your Current State

• Identify mission-critical applications, data, and infrastructure-both on-premise and in the cloud.

• Evaluate existing backup, recovery, and security measures for gaps or outdated practices.

2. Prioritize Risks and Impacts

• Map potential threats: cyberattacks, hardware failures, natural disasters, or human error.

• Quantify the business impact of downtime for each system or process.

3. Develop and Document Your Plan

• Define clear roles and responsibilities for crisis response.

• Establish recovery objectives (RTO/RPO) for every key application and data set.

• Document step-by-step procedures for restoring systems and communications.

4. Leverage Modern Technology

• Implement automated, regular backups and cloud-based DR solutions for faster recovery and lower costs1.

• Use monitoring and analytics to detect issues early and trigger rapid response.

5. Test and Update Regularly

• Schedule periodic drills and tabletop exercises to validate your plan.

• Update documentation and procedures as your business and technology evolve.
