Explanation

The statement that every organization MUST have a disaster recovery plan is incorrect. While a DRP is strongly recommended as a best practice, it is not a universal legal or regulatory mandate applicable to all organizations. Requirements vary by industry, jurisdiction, and regulatory framework (e.g., financial institutions and healthcare organizations may be required by law to have one, but a small local business may not be). The remaining statements are correct: a DRP addresses actions before, during, and after a disruption; its primary goal is an organized approach to restore operations; and it should include plans for returning from alternate facilities to primary facilities.
