Sept. 17, 2026 – The Blind Spot in Your Disaster Recovery Plan

Ask any room of disaster recovery professionals what happens if the data center goes down. They’ll walk you through the process without hesitation: failover, RTO, RPO, tested and retested. Ask what happens if nine people show up to a shift that needs thirty-eight?

That’s the gap that gets triggered in real life. A building nobody can enter due to a strike or civil unrest.

It’s also the gap hiding inside DR plans. Ask the DR plan owner one question: is it built around your data, including print? For most organizations, the answer is data. This means every check, invoice, statement or regulatory document the businesses are contractually or legally obligated to produce has no real plan behind it.

Here’s what you’ll learn

• Where DR plans break in practice — the disruptions that trigger emergency declarations: staffing shortages, building access, strikes, office relocations

• The two kinds of critical documents your DR plan needs to treat differently — revenue-generating (checks, invoices — the ones that keep cash moving) versus regulatory-mandated (notices, statements — the ones that keep you out of a compliance filing)

• Why “we’ll just send it to our other site” isn’t a DR plan — the capacity, equipment, and staffing questions that expose a false sense of coverage before a real event does

• What a two-year-dormant DR plan taught one organization — and why “it hasn’t happened yet” is high risk

• The new standard upstream vendors are quietly requiring — separate, independently-sourced DR plans from their own outsourcers. The uncomfortable question it raises: does your DR provider have one?

The one-hour webinar are for Finance, Risk, IT and Operations who have a stake in DR and want to find the one part of the DR plan that’s never actually been tested.
