Which of the following should be the FIRST consideration for an enterprise faced with a pandemic situation resulting in a mandatory remote work environment?

DRPs focus on recovering IT systems and data, which is important but secondary to ensuring personnel can actually connect and work from a new location.

When a mandatory remote work environment is suddenly enforced, the most immediate and critical consideration is to equip staff with the necessary technology (e.g., laptops, internet access, collaboration tools, secure remote access) to enable them to perform their work effectively and maintain business operations. Without these tools, productivity will cease, regardless of policies or plans.

While remote work policies are crucial, they are enacted after the immediate logistical challenge of enabling work from home has been addressed with necessary technology.

Revising performance metrics is a subsequent step after the workforce has been equipped and is operational in the new remote setup.
