A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is a comprehensive plan to anticipate, prepare for and recover from disasters such as natural disasters, cyber-attacks, or major system outages. It details the necessary resources, processes, and steps to ensure the continuity of services, data, and operations in the event of an unexpected event. The purpose of a DRP is to minimize the potential negative impact of an incident and ensure business continuity.
