Work on things in smaller
groups and get started.
The second formula that I??™ll accept (but personally dislike) involves ???real??? numbers.
Probability is represented as a percentage, and impact is represented as a dollar amount:
PROBABILITY (.01-1) * IMPACT ($0.00) = RISK ($0.00)
The reason that I say I??™ll accept it rather than like it is that often in order to justify
spending time on planning and putting any response or mitigation plans in place, you
have to attempt to cost-justify the activities to upper management. It??™s a reality that I
sometimes face, and you may too. I personally think it??™s a bit silly: you cannot costjustify
disaster plans. Companies don??™t cost-justify things such as liability or workers??™
compensation insurance??”those are costs of doing business. In fact, what you really
want is for all of the money spent on disaster recovery to be wasted, because that means
you??™ll never have a disaster scenario in the first place. (Don??™t get your hopes up??”you
will.) Try ???selling??? disaster recovery up the corporate ladder with that line of thinking
and see how high you climb.
