A cold site is a type of disaster recovery site that is equipped with adequate physical space and basic utilities but lacks the necessary IT and telecommunications equipment. The organization must bring in and install hardware, software, and data before operations can resume, resulting in longer recovery times compared with warm or hot sites.
