As identified as part of the BIA, system components, infrastructure, and associated facilities are critical components supporting daily mission/business processes. The systems, applications, and infrastructure that connect users to these are subject to events causing service interruptions and outages. Including an escalation and notification component within the Recovery Phase helps to ensure that overall, a repeatable, structured, consistent, and measurable recovery process is followed. Effective escalation and notification procedures should define and describe the events, thresholds, or other types of triggers that are necessary for additional action. Actions would include additional notifications for more recovery staff, messages and status updates to leadership, and notices for additional resources. Procedures should be included to establish a clear set of events, actions and results, and should be documented for teams or individuals as appropriate.
