Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan for Information Security by Vyshnavi Devi Jorrigala A Starred Paper Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Saint Cloud State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree, of Master of Science in Information Assurance December, 2018 Starred Paper Committee: Susantha Herath, Chairperson Dien D. Phan Balasubramanian Kasi 2 Abstract Business continuity planning and Disaster recovery planning are the most crucial elements of a business but are often ignored. Businesses must make a well-structured plan and document for disaster recovery and business continuation, even before a catastrophe occurs. Disasters can be short or may last for a long time, but when an organization is ready for any adversity, it thrives hard and survives. This paper will clearly distinguish the difference between disaster recovery plan and business continuity plan, will describe the components of each plan and finally, will provide an approach that organizations can follow to make better contingency plan so that they will not go out of business when something unexpected happens.
