Episode 45 — Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Proofs for i1
Notas del episodio
Business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) controls under the i1 program require organizations to prove they can maintain essential operations during disruptive events. Candidates must understand that HITRUST expects evidence of formal plans, defined recovery objectives, and tested procedures. Plans must identify critical systems, assign recovery roles, and define recovery time (RTO) and recovery point (RPO) objectives. Evidence of periodic testing—such as simulation reports or failover demonstrations—is essential to validating operational readiness.
Practically, organizations may conduct annual BC/DR exercises to verify recovery of core systems, backups, and network connectivity. For exam preparation, candidates should connect these practices to PRISMA’s “Measured” and “Managed” maturity stages. Assessors focus on the ability to demonstrate test results, corrective actions, and documentation updates. Effective BC/DR programs showcase resilience, proving that business continuity is embedded into organizational strategy rather than being a reactive contingency. This assurance aligns with the broader i1 objective of operational consistency and stakeholder confidence.
