Objective 4
4. Create a policy or procedure that addresses events such as: a disaster recovery plan, a business continuity plan, an incident response policy, an acceptable usage document, an information security policy, a physical security policy, assessments or troubleshooting procedures.
Project 1 - Disaster Recovery Plan - Shoe Inc.
Summary -
In my project on designing a Disaster Recovery Plan, I created a comprehensive disaster recovery policy specifically tailored for a cloud-based business model utilizing AWS services. The plan includes detailed risk assessments, a business impact analysis, recovery objectives, and specific strategies such as AWS Backup, cross-region replication, IAM access control, and regular testing protocols.
Why This Project Meets Objective 4 -
This projects aligns directly with Objective 4 as I have created a Disaster Recovery Plan that has policies and procedures in place encase of an emergency. The document thoroughly outlines the necessary steps, responsibilities, tools, and security measures to ensure business continuity and minimize downtime during unexpected events.
Project 2 - Disaster Recovery Plan - Small Doctor Office
Summary -
This report outlines a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) for a small doctor's office, aiming to ensure the network's resilience in the event of failures or disasters. It builds on a previously established network infrastructure by identifying critical vulnerabilities and proposing strategies for maintaining continuity. The DRP includes data backup solutions, redundancy measures, failover systems, and emergency response protocols to minimize downtime and protect sensitive healthcare data. A cost-benefit analysis is conducted to balance security investments with operational efficiency. Additionally, the report discusses potential challenges in implementation and suggests mitigation strategies to facilitate a smooth recovery.
Why This Project Meets Objective 4 -
This assignment meets Objective 4 by creating a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) for a small doctor's office network. It identifies critical vulnerabilities in data storage, communication links, and essential servers. The report outlines disaster recovery strategies like data backups, failover mechanisms, and emergency response procedures to ensure minimal downtime. A cost-benefit analysis balances the financial feasibility of these measures with the benefits of maintaining network resilience and data integrity, while also addressing potential implementation challenges, such as cyber threats and hardware failures.
