5.2.3 Disaster and recovery planning task:
Organisations need to be aware of all the issues which could risk their assets, employees and existence.
What should be included in the plan to protect their data?
They should have a regular backup after every day. They should store IT equipment on the second floor of a building instead of the first to prevent water damage in an area prone to flooding.

What should be included in their plans to ensure the business can continue to do business?
The company can have backup generators in events of power cuts to ensure power is on the whole time. Also regular backups must be made so no work is lost to carry on working efficiently.

In 2013, lightning struck an office building in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, causing a fire to break out. The offices were home to Cantey Technology, an IT company that hosts servers for more than 200 clients.
The fire torched Cantey’s network infrastructure, melting cables and burning its computer hardware.
