Disaster Recovery Readiness Review Agent
Every critical system has a current plan and a passed recovery test
What it does
Leadership must know whether critical systems can really be recovered after a major failure, and a plan on paper is not proof. Each quarter this agent reads every critical system's recovery plan, test records and the change log. A system counts as ready only when its plan is current and its last test, within 12 months and after any major change, met its targets. It finds outdated plans, missing tests and tests that missed their targets, then drafts a test schedule with owner requests. After each test it updates the status and checks again. Systems that still fail get a follow-up action and loop back into the schedule. The IT leader approves the readiness report and schedule. Edge case: a system that moved to a new hosting region since its last test needs a new test, even if the old one passed.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
