Business Continuity Strategies

I work on the BC strategy document. Please explain where should I define detailed recovery strategy for individual applications. The various critical activities defined by BIA analysis use xxxxxxx as an application that access the servers and it is absolutely critical, but I was wondering where and how to define recovery for the xxxxxxx - whether as a separate Activity recovery plan (which I would perhaps call application recovery plan ) or otherwise?

In the Activity Recovery Strategy document at the end of point 3 states: "The recovery strategy for applications / databases and external services will be specified in the general part of the Strategy." But in the BC Strategy document I did not find the perfect place for that, and it doesn't seem to me convenient location. Please help with this.

Answer: If you need to detail strategies for specific applications you can just add this information in the section 5.3 (Applications/databases) of the BC strategy document. The text that comes with the template covers the situation where you use the same strategy for all applications, but this can be adjusted to fit your organization's needs.
