What is a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), and why is it essential for your business?

A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is a set of technical and organisational procedures designed to restore critical business services in the event of a major incident — such as a cyberattack, human error, hardware failure or natural disaster. Its main goal is to minimise downtime (RTO) and data loss (RPO), ensuring business continuity.

Having a DRP is not just a preventive measure — it’s a key requirement for businesses with critical infrastructure or subject to data protection regulations, audits or SLA commitments. A well-designed DRP:

• Defines risk scenarios and recovery priorities
• Establishes roles, processes and tools for rapid response
• Ensures traceability and documentation for compliance

In this context, services like Adam’s DRaaS make your recovery plan actionable — with real-time replication and immediate activation of affected infrastructure.
