In the process of updating the contingency plans to address potential infrastructure failures, what should management prioritize to ensure essential system functions are restored within an optimal timeframe after an unforeseen outage occurs?
Setting specific deadlines for restoring vital operations.
Harmonizing the procedural manual with the prevalent statutory requirements.
Creating a schedule for regular data archiving and retrieval tests.
Keeping a detailed record of equipment and software versions.
Establishing specific deadlines for the restoration of vital services is the cornerstone of an effective contingency plan, ensuring that the most critical operations are available again to meet business needs and customer expectations. While a meticulous resource inventory is useful for resource management and recovery, and defining storage and retrieval processes preserves data integrity, neither sets the timeline for restoring business services. Regulation adherence is also a consideration in planning but does not determine the urgency with which services must be reactivated.
