- Provide a critical role in ensuring public safety and youth rehabilitation through secure detention, community-based services, education, and counseling.
- This engagement aims to identify and prioritize mission-critical functions, assess the potential impacts of business interruptions, and establish an actionable recovery framework that ensures operational continuity following a disruption.
- Identify critical business operations and their dependencies.
- Determine the impact of various disruption scenarios.
- Establish Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs).
- Develop a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) that aligns with regulatory requirements.
- Ensure compliance with cybersecurity and business continuity policies.
- Recommend and document recovery strategies and plans for IT systems.
- Validate the feasibility of the DRP through simulation or testing.  
These efforts aim to enhance organizational resilience, identify critical functions, and prepare response strategies for potential disruptions while protecting the agency's and customers' interests.

• Prioritization – Develop a prioritization matrix for systems and functions based on criticality.
- Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)
• DR Strategy Development – Define technical and operational strategies for recovery of IT systems, applications, data, and infrastructure.        
• Role Definition and Escalation – Outline roles, responsibilities, escalation procedures, and communication plans.
• DRP Documentation – Develop a detailed, modular DRP aligned with industry standards (e.g., NIST SP 800-34, ISO/IEC 22301)
• Gap Analysis – Evaluate existing DR practices and capabilities; identify areas requiring improvement.
• Testing and Validation – Facilitate at least one tabletop exercise or recovery simulation.
• Final Plan Package – Deliver a complete DRP, including review protocols and update schedules.
