Task:

Critique an organisation’s disaster recovery plan and evaluate the proposed recovery model.

Subject Learning Outcomes

1.Demonstrate an understanding of cybersecurity and the likely cyber-attack vectors on a business or organisation

2.Develop and justify a cyber security strategic plan and what it should contain ensuring legal obligations are being met.

3.Design cyber security policies to mitigate the common weaknesses in ICT systems, such as human factors, out of date protection, currency of protocols and be able to institute organisational data governance protocols.

4.Analyse weaknesses in information protection of a business and be able to determine risks, threats and controls.

5.Critically discuss a cyber disaster plan and evaluate a recovery model.

6.Explain the responsibilities of a cyber security manager and the implications of non-compliance by workers.

Note: an organisation’s disaster recovery plan will cover more that the ICT infrastructure and resources associated with it but there would be very few organisations where ICT was not the major component of the plan and the recovery model. This assessment focuses on the cyber component of the disaster recovery plan.

Write a report assessing the Cyber Disaster Recovery Plan (or component of a larger plan) and associated Business Contingency Strategy. Your report should include an assessment of the following

1.What is the coverage of the plan?

2.Who is involved?

3.Business Continuity strategy

6.Scenarios covered (threats, timelines and resource estimates)

7.Staffing issues

8.Equipment, communication, system, data/record issues coverage

9.Legal compliance requirements

10.Media output
