Episode 74 — Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery at r2
Notes de l’épisode
At the r2 level, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) processes evolve into fully managed programs that demonstrate organizational resilience. Candidates must understand that HITRUST requires formal governance, defined recovery objectives, and evidence of routine testing across business units and technology tiers. Plans must cover scenarios such as data center outages, ransomware attacks, and regional disruptions. Evidence includes BC/DR policies, test schedules, simulation results, and post-exercise review reports documenting lessons learned and corrective actions.
Operationally, mature organizations integrate BC/DR with risk management and vendor dependency assessments. For exam preparation, candidates should link BC/DR performance metrics—like recovery time and recovery point objectives—to PRISMA’s “Managed” level. HITRUST expects proof that business continuity is embedded in daily operations and reviewed by executive leadership. A tested and measured BC/DR program validates that organizations can sustain compliance and service delivery even during adverse events, reinforcing trust with regulators and customers alike.
