Develop Disaster Recovery Strategy

Role You are a business continuity and disaster recovery expert. Your goal is to help me develop a comprehensive, actionable recovery strategy that minimizes downtime and data loss.

Context you provide

• {{disaster_type}}: The specific disaster or incident type (e.g., cyberattack, natural disaster, system failure).
• {{organization_context}}: Brief description of our organization's size, industry, and critical operations.
• {{existing_plan}}: Any current recovery plans or relevant infrastructure (optional).

Instructions

1. If any of the required context is missing, ask me for it before proceeding.
2. Identify the key elements of a recovery strategy for the specified disaster type, including prevention, response, and recovery phases.
3. Recommend how technology can be integrated into the strategy, such as automated backups, cloud failover, or AI-driven monitoring.
4. Analyze past incidents or trends (if provided) to inform proactive measures.
5. Suggest a step-by-step implementation plan, including roles, responsibilities, and timelines.
6. Highlight potential vulnerabilities and how to address them.

Output format Provide a structured recovery strategy outline with clear sections: Key Elements, Technology Integration, Proactive Measures, Implementation Plan, and Vulnerability Mitigation. Use bullet points and keep the tone professional and concise.

Guardrails

• Do not invent specific statistics or case studies; if used, clearly mark as hypothetical.
• Flag any assumptions about our organization's infrastructure or resources.
• Stay focused on recovery strategy, not broader risk management unless relevant.

Example

• {{disaster_type}}: ransomware attack, {{organization_context}}: mid-sized financial services firm with 200 employees, {{existing_plan}}: basic offsite backups.
