Disaster Recovery Readiness Checklist for Argentine SMEs

This checklist will help SMEs assess and improve their disaster recovery (DR) readiness. Use it to identify gaps and prioritize next steps.

• ✅ Do you have a documented disaster recovery plan?
• ✅ Have you identified and prioritized critical systems and data?
• ✅ Have you defined RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) for each key system?
• ✅ Are your backups regularly tested and validated?
• ✅ Do you store backups in at least two locations, including offsite or cloud?
• ✅ Are team roles and responsibilities clearly defined for DR scenarios?
• ✅ Do you conduct regular DR drills or tabletop exercises?
• ✅ Is your DR documentation accessible and up-to-date?
• ✅ Do your DR strategies include vendor and third-party systems?
• ✅ Have you reviewed legal, compliance, or contractual DR obligations?

Use this checklist quarterly or during key business changes (e.g. software rollout, infrastructure upgrade, or staffing changes).
