Plan Validation
Description
No plan can be accepted without it being properly validated. In the case of the business continuity plan, the first test conducted should validate if the strategies and infrastructure put in place are adequate.
Planning and executing a BCP validation exercise is as much an art as it is a science. This is because testing involves a large amount of people and if people are not managed properly then the test will fail. People’s expectation and anticipation must be clearly addressed in order for the test to be successful.
There are many different types of test. There are the walkthrough / table top test, the simulated integrated test and the simulated live test. Each test has its own objectives and level of difficulty.
Our consultants have a tried and testing methodology for designing and executing BCP tests. We have refined a technique which allows us to get good results each time with test.
It is important to realize that failing a test is a learning opportunity. It helps us prepare for the real disaster.
