1 Risk Assessment
1 Critical business processes
List the mission-critical business systems and services that must be protected by the DRP.
If I were to list the mission-critical business systems and services that must be protected by the DRP I would say their servers, computers, data, and tools. I say that because the DRP will need to protect each of these in case of a natural disaster occurring because it is very crucial to the company.
2 Internal, external, and environmental risks
Briefly discuss the internal, external, and environmental risks, which might be likely to affect the business and result in loss of the facility, loss of life, or loss of assets. Threats could include weather, fire or chemical, earth movement, structural failure, energy, biological, or human.
IF I were to briefly discuss the internal, external and environmental risk which might be likely to affect the business and have a bad result would be for one earthquakes because one of their offices is in Los Angeles, and known for earthquakes. On the other hand though every company can deal with internal, external and environmental risk because anything can happen to a company.

Of the strategies of shared-site agreements, alternate sites, hot sites, cold sites, and warm sites, identify which of these recovery strategies is most appropriate for your selected scenario and why.
Of the strategies listed I say the shared-site agreement would be most appropriate for my selected scenario because
