Homework #5: Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery Planning
Student Name
Hint: For the final exam you should be able to write a good answer to the question: What is the
difference between Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery Planning?
For this assignment, a home environment may be too simple to get good practice with BCP and
DRP.
Students are encouraged to use a medium to large enterprise (like UVU) when analyzing
and answering questions.
However, using a small enterprise is not forbidden.
PART 1) Business Continuity Planning
Make a list of the five
most important things (business functions) that you do in cyberspace.
For each item on the list, determine what resources are required.
For example, hardware,
software, network, etc.
For each item on the list determine a business continuity plan and describe it in one or two
sentences.
Example:
X) Important thing: Submit homework
Required resources: Access to cloud (where I store my homework); A web browser; Internet
access
Business Continuity Plan: If I do not have access to the cloud then I would go to my backup
disk; If the browser or computer is not working then I will use the lab at school; If I do not have
Internet access then I will use the lab at school

Submitting Homework
Required resources:
A web browser, Internet access.

VPN For Work

Business Continuity Plan:
If my web browser is not working, I will attempt to use a different

If I don’t have cell phone access, email access is the secondary VPN
verification.
3)

Required resources: Web Browser, Internet Access, Login Credentials
Business Continuity Plan: If my web browser is not working, I will attempt to use a different
web browser.

If I forget my login credentials I will need my email in order to reset my
username and/or password.

If I do not have email access I will need to phone in my mortgage
payment or go pay in person.
PART 2) Disaster Recovery Planning
Choose three
of the resources that you identified in PART 1.
For each resource, assume that it
was suddenly unavailable.
Create a procedure that tells how to deal with the missing resource.

Create an additional procedure to deal with the
missing resource for a long time.
