Implementing an IT resilience assessment framework is crucial for organizations to ensure business continuity and minimize downtime in the face of disasters or disruptions. The key components of such a framework include:
- Risk Assessment: Identifying potential risks and threats to IT systems and operations.
- Business Impact Analysis: Understanding the impact of disruptions on critical business processes.
- Recovery Time Objectives (RTO): Setting targets for how quickly systems and processes need to be restored after an incident.
- Recovery Point Objectives (RPO): Defining acceptable data loss limits in case of a disaster.
- Testing and Maintenance: Regularly testing and updating the resilience plan to ensure effectiveness.
