Continuity and Recovery Policy Template

Save hours of work by downloading our easy-to-edit IT Security policy document templates.

A continuity and recovery policy creates a framework for the organization regarding the organization's strategy to be resilient in the event of, for example, a fire, natural disaster, sabotage or a serious intrusion or breakdown in the organization's IT system, as well as how the business is to be restored.

The policy defines the creation of two plans, a Business Continuity Plan ("BCP") and a Disaster Recovery Plan ("DRP"), what they aim for and what they should contain.

Since each business is unique and requires tailored planning, a practical manual and tools for each plan are attached instead of ready-made templates.

The following documents are included in this package:

• What is documentation in IT security? (PDF)
• Template Continuity and Recovery Policy (Word)
• Instructions Continuity and Recovery Policy (PDF)
• Create a Business Continuity Plan (PDF)
• Create a Disaster Recovery Plan (PDF)
• Business Impact Analysis Worksheet (Excel)
