A. Purpose
The Business Testing & Revision Policy & Standards document establishes the standard procedures that must be carried out by each business unit (department) within the organization.
All departments must utilize this methodology to conduct testing activities on completed contingency (recovery) plans, facilities, and work-area relocation. In addition, all departments will be responsible for the annual review and maintenance of recovery plans.
B. Scope
Business Testing and Revision activities are performed to identify current gaps, inconsistent data, incorrect data, and enhancements for all recovery plans. All departments with recovery plans must perform testing and revision activities on an annual basis. The overall RTO of the recovery plan will define what types of activities need to be performed.
