Most Manufacturers Have a Backup. Few Have a Recovery Plan.

There’s a major difference between backing up your data and having a tested, documented plan to restore your ERP, SCADA, and production systems under pressure. This checklist closes that gap.

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

Who This Is For

  • Manufacturing companies that have never tested their disaster recovery plan
  • IT staff responsible for backup infrastructure and recovery procedures
  • Operations managers who need production back online fast after an incident
  • Companies renewing cyber insurance who need documented DR procedures
