Overview: When disaster strikes, are you prepared? Sounds simple enough, but what does being prepared really mean? From a DR-BC perspective it means that you have all the elements in place to recover from a disaster, be it manmade or natural, and you have tested and validated that plan to ensure that it will work as designed. Failing to have a DR-BC plan could result in a finding of willful neglect, since having such a plan is a core requirement in the Security Rule and has been since early on.
