Each source has been selected to address specific aspects of organizational resilience, from structured planning methodologies to access control implementation and network security frameworks. Primary Framework and Planning Sources Kesa, D. M. (2023). Ensuring resilience: Integrating IT disaster recovery planning and business continuity for sustainable information technology operations. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 18(3), 970-992. This source will serve as a foundational reference for demonstrating the critical importance of structured disaster recovery and business continuity planning in high-stakes industries. Kesa’s analysis of ADNOC Onshore’s implementation of well-documented DR and BC plans provides concrete evidence of how systematic approaches to continuity planning can minimize operational disruptions and ensure predictable crisis response. The article will be utilized to establish the business case for integrated DR/BC strategies and to illustrate best practices in plan documentation and regular updates. This source directly supports the project paper’s emphasis on the strategic imperative of comprehensive continuity planning in volatile business environments. Nurhanudin, N. (2021). Designing a Disaster Recovery Plan Using NIST 800-34 Framework. JURNAL SISFOTEK GLOBAL, 11(2), 75-81. This reference will be instrumental in addressing the technical framework requirements for effective disaster recovery planning. Nurhanudin’s work provides detailed guidance on implementing the NIST SP 800-34 framework, which will be used to demonstrate how organizations can adopt proven methodologies for developing robust contingency plans. The article will back up the project paper’s suggestions for choosing a framework and will help underline that proper ACL use in DR plans is essential. The data in this source reinforces the argument that using established standards is preferable to coming up with makeshift recovery strategies. Regional and Development Context Barnett-Quaicoo, P., & Ahmadu, A. (2021). Business continuity and disaster recovery in Ghana–a literature review. Continuity & Resilience Review, 3(2), 104-118. It supplies key facts about difficulties faced by firms in developing regions, mainly due to infrastructure problems and irregular implementation of regulations. The analysis of Ghanaian firms by the authors will show how environmental aspects can affect DR/BC performance Read More …
