Annemarie,

Your answer may be in your question. The four methods for protecting
vital records are duplication, disperal, off-site storage, and
protective storage on-site. Since you have branches, maybe you could
have each branch maintain the complete copy of the plan, rather than
just their part of the plan. That way, if they don't have access to
their branch, they can get it from another branch - dispersal.

Subject: [RM] Safe storage options for a corporate disaster recovery
plan

Hello,
Would anyone be able to suggest some options on how to securely store
and make accessible print copies of a corporate disaster recovery plan.

We have developed a large document that is made up of the individual
plans of our various branches together with an overview that we plan to
update at least annually.  The team members need to be able to access
this in case they can't obtain their part of the plan, but our Security
staff would retain overall access to the plan since it contains
confidential information.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where and how we should store
print copies of the plan?  They would need to be securely stored offsite
and accessible to team members.  

Are other organizations using safety deposit boxes for instance?  Or
perhaps an option like Iron Mountain?  It is just a very large binder so
it wouldn't take up that much room.

Any ideas or experience you have had with what other organizations are
doing would be very welcome.
