A backup is not a recovery plan.
There's a major difference between backing up your data and having a tested, documented plan to restore ERP, SCADA, and production systems under pressure. This step-by-step checklist closes that gap.
What the checklist covers
- RTO and RPO definition for ERP, SCADA, and network systems
- 3-2-1 backup architecture verification for manufacturing environments
- Recovery runbooks for production-critical systems
- Communication plan for plant staff, customers, and vendors during outages
- Ransomware response procedures: isolate, assess, recover
- Annual DR test plan and documentation requirements
- Cyber insurance documentation checklist
- Vendor contact sheet for OEM support during recovery
