SCHEMA TEMPLATES
Business Continuity Register
Record recovery expectations for critical services and give continuity owners a consistent basis for planning and testing.
Continuity planning starts by agreeing which services matter and how much interruption or data loss is acceptable. This template records those objectives with recovery ownership, plans and test dates, so teams can compare expectations with their exercises.
