How I Work:

My approach to data recovery and business continuity planning is methodical, urgent, and focused on minimizing impact:

Emergency Data Recovery (Immediate Response):

• Initial Incident Assessment: Rapid consultation to understand the data loss scenario, affected systems, and urgency.
• Data Loss Analysis: Determining the extent of data loss and feasibility of recovery from existing backups or direct data recovery techniques.
• Recovery Attempt: Utilizing specialized software and techniques to attempt data recovery from corrupted drives, deleted files, or inaccessible partitions.
• Data Validation: Verifying the integrity and usability of recovered data.
• Secure Data Transfer: Securely transferring recovered data back to your designated location.

Business Continuity Planning (BCP) Assessment & Design:

• Business Impact Analysis (BIA): Identifying critical business functions, their dependencies, and the financial/operational impact of their disruption.
• Risk Assessment: Analyzing potential threats (natural disasters, cyberattacks, power outages) and their likelihood/impact.
• RTO/RPO Definition: Collaboratively defining realistic Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) for each critical function.
• Strategy Development: Designing comprehensive BCP strategies, including alternative work locations, redundant systems, communication plans, and vendor management.
• DRP Integration: Ensuring the BCP seamlessly integrates with your existing or newly developed Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP).
• Client Review & Approval: Presentation of the proposed BCP for your review, feedback, and final approval.

BCP Implementation & Documentation:

• Resource Identification: Identifying and securing necessary resources (personnel, technology, facilities) for continuity operations.
• Procedure Development: Documenting step-by-step procedures for activating and executing the BCP.
• Communication Plan: Establishing clear communication channels for internal teams, stakeholders, and external parties during a disruption.
• Vendor & Third-Party Coordination: Integrating third-party services and vendor support into the BCP.
• Emergency Contact Lists: Compiling and maintaining up-to-date contact information.

Testing, Training & Maintenance:

• Tabletop Exercises: Conducting simulated BCP exercises to test the plan's effectiveness and identify gaps.
• Live Drills (Optional/Add-on): Performing partial or full live drills to validate recovery procedures in a real-world scenario.
• Team Training: Training key personnel on their roles and responsibilities during a business disruption.
• Regular Review & Updates: Establishing a schedule for periodic review and updates of the BCP to reflect changes in your business or environment.

Post-Recovery Analysis (if applicable):

• Root Cause Analysis: Investigating the cause of data loss or disruption to prevent future occurrences.
• Lessons Learned: Documenting insights gained from recovery incidents or drills to improve future resilience.
