Business Continuity Management And IT Disaster Recovery Management A Complete Guide

Business continuity and IT disaster recovery are no longer optional; organizations that cannot maintain operations during an outage face regulatory penalties, lost revenue, and damaged reputation. Modern enterprises must quickly identify gaps, prioritize actions, and demonstrate resilience to stakeholders. The book provides a structured Self-Assessment methodology built on the RDMAICS framework - Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control, Sustain. Across seven criteria, hundreds of targeted Business Continuity Management and IT Disaster Recovery questions guide the reader to score each item from 1 to 5. Scores generate a radar-chart Scorecard that instantly highlights the exact areas that need attention, enabling even users with limited experience to benchmark their organization.
