The Backup and Disaster Recovery Policy serves as a critical governance document that ensures organizational resilience and regulatory compliance. This policy becomes necessary as organizations face increasing data management challenges and regulatory requirements in the United States. The document addresses essential aspects of data protection, including backup procedures, recovery protocols, and testing requirements. It helps organizations maintain compliance with federal regulations such as HIPAA and SOX, while also addressing state-specific data protection requirements. The policy is designed to be comprehensive yet adaptable to various organizational sizes and industry requirements.
