Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When disaster strikes without a warning sign
Your business needs a plan that's well-defined
Start with impact analysis, see what's at stake
Map your critical processes for safety's sake
Identify dependencies, follow the chain
Know which systems keep you running through the pain

[Chorus]
BIA tells you what you need
RTO sets your recovery speed
RPO shows how much you'll lose
Continuity you cannot refuse
Test your plans and make them strong
When disaster comes along

[Verse 2]
Recovery time objective, that's your deadline clock
How fast can you restore when systems stop
Recovery point objective measures data loss
How much can you afford when networks cross
Set these targets based on business need
Critical functions must have greater speed

[Chorus]
BIA tells you what you need
RTO sets your recovery speed
RPO shows how much you'll lose
Continuity you cannot refuse
Test your plans and make them strong
When disaster comes along

[Bridge]
Alternate sites standing by
Hot and cold backups in the sky
Failover systems ready to go
Crisis communication in the flow
Annual testing validates your way
Practice makes perfect for that day

[Verse 3]
Document procedures step by step
Emergency contacts you must keep
Communication plans for staff and clients too
Tell them what you're doing to pull through
Recovery plans for IT infrastructure
Business continuity plans that will endure

[Chorus]
BIA tells you what you need
RTO sets your recovery speed
RPO shows how much you'll lose
Continuity you cannot refuse
Test your plans and make them strong
When disaster comes along

[Outro]
When the storm clouds gather overhead
Your planning keeps you moving ahead
BC DR saves the day
Keeps your business in the game
