Direct answer
A disaster recovery plan documents what should happen. A recovery readiness assessment checks whether people, systems, data, procedures and tests can actually meet recovery objectives.
| Decision point | Disaster recovery plan | Recovery readiness assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Primary question | What is the recovery procedure? | Can the organization meet RPO and RTO targets? |
| Main focus | Documentation | Capability, gaps, dependencies and tests |
| Executive output | Plan and procedures | Readiness score, risk view and resilience roadmap |
| Best timing | After DR design | Before relying on recovery commitments |
