According to the QS World University Rankings, Andalas University is a 3-star university and is in ranked 12th of the best universities in Indonesia based on the Indonesian Ministry of Research and Higher Education criteria. The university is located in three different areas which are Padang, Payakumbuh, and Dhamasraya. Currently, the university‘s Information and Communication Technology Development Unit which is responsible in managing the information and communication technology has no formal documentation of response procedures in an event of an emergency. Being used by some 26,702 students and staffs, the system is potentially corrupted by a few possible disasters like viruses, hackers, and server downs. Therefore it is crucial for the organization to plan a documented security action to protect essential archives and application software in anticipating the catastrophes. This study developed a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), as a document to act on accidents which may occur in occur in information system failures. It is a plan for rapid recovery from the disaster or the emergency response so that the organization does not perceive the impact given by the information system failure.
