Right off the bat.
Every business has a main objective in mind when writing their disaster recovery plan. Whether it's to reduce insurance premiums, eliminate liability, minimize loss or to satisfy compliance requirements from regulators – you're better off doing it right the first time – before an interruption when the stakes are the highest.
Developing a plan with the sole intent of skating by examiners during an exercise may save you time and money in the short term, but in the long run it is a huge missed opportunity to protect your business, your employees and your promise. Cutting corners now could have dire consequence on the long term viability of your organization and those who depend on it.
Fortunately, there are many resources available to help make this process easier. Prepare to survive now, and reap the benefits when it matters most.
