Disaster recovery protection level self-assessment

Determine your risk profile and the economic value of disaster recovery protection

Published October 2013

Before you can plan to recover your infrastructure you need to understand what you have and what you need to protect. This Disaster Recovery Self-Assessment walks your team through the process to determine the financial risk for each of your applications. The self-assessment starts by walking you through the three most common threats to business infrastructure using a flowchart. Then you will assess the financial vulnerability of your applications based on single-day outages, multi-day outages and prolonged disruptions.

Developed with the intention of helping you place dollar amounts on the value of protection of your application, this self-assessment will be a helpful tool when budgeting for Recovery-as-a-Service and talking to your finance team about the need to protect your applications.
