Start with the service, not the tool
Identify which business service must recover, who uses it and what happens while it is unavailable. Then connect the applications, data, identities, connectivity and providers that enable it.
- Services that cannot stop without operational impact.
- Technical and external dependencies.
- The owner who declares and coordinates recovery.
Define what must be proven
A strategy should state what is recovered, in what order, with which access and how the result is accepted as usable.
- Date and evidence of the last test.
- Recovery acceptance criteria.
- Risks that remain outside the scope.
Prepare the technical conversation
Bring a concise inventory, responsible stakeholders and relevant disruption scenarios. This enables a grounded assessment before recovery targets are promised.
