DR Readiness Score
"How ready are we for a disaster?" Finally, a real answer.
Every client asks it. Every MSP wings it. Until now.
CrispyUmbrella's DR Readiness Score is a single number (0-100) that quantifies exactly how prepared your client is for a disaster — based on real data, not gut feelings.
What It Measures
The DR Readiness Score evaluates five dimensions:
📋 Plan Quality (0-20 pts)
- Does a documented DR plan exist?
- Is it current (updated within 90 days)?
- Does it cover all critical assets?
- Are recovery procedures specific and actionable?
- Is there an approval chain with signatures?
🧪 Testing History (0-20 pts)
- When was the last DR test?
- What type (tabletop, simulation, full drill)?
- Did actual RTO meet target RTO?
- Were corrective actions completed?
- Is testing on a regular schedule?
🖥️ Asset Coverage (0-20 pts)
- What % of critical assets have recovery assignments?
- Are dependencies mapped?
- Are backup configurations verified?
- Are there single points of failure?
👥 People Readiness (0-20 pts)
- Are roles assigned for DR scenarios?
- Is training current?
- Do team members know the plan exists?
- Are communication chains tested?
- Are contact lists current?
📊 Compliance Posture (0-20 pts)
- Which frameworks apply?
- Are required documentation sections complete?
- Is testing frequency meeting requirements?
- Are audit reports current?
- Are corrective actions resolved?

FAQ
How is the score calculated? Each dimension (Plan Quality, Testing, Asset Coverage, People Readiness, Compliance) contributes 0-20 points. Sub-scores are weighted by severity — missing a DR plan entirely weighs more than an outdated contact list.
How often does the score update? Continuously. As plans are updated, tests are conducted, and assets change, the score recalculates automatically.
Can I set score targets per client? Yes. Set minimum acceptable scores per dimension and get alerts when clients drop below thresholds.
Can clients see their own score? Optional. Enable client portal access to let clients view their score and gap report. Great for accountability.
Is the free assessment accurate? The free assessment provides an estimated score based on self-reported data. The full platform score uses verified data from your actual infrastructure, plans, and test history.
