COBIT 2019 DSS04.04: DSS04.04 Exercise, test and review the business continuity plan (BCP) and disaster response plan (DRP)

Continuity is tested regularly so plans are exercised against outcomes set in advance, resilience is maintained and new solutions can emerge: objectives are set for exercising and testing the plan's technical, business, administrative, logistical, operational and procedural systems, to check that the plans fully address business risk; realistic exercises with stakeholders validate continuity procedures, including roles, responsibilities and data retention arrangements, while disrupting as little as possible; roles for running exercises and tests are assigned; exercises and tests are scheduled as set out in the plans; after each exercise a debrief and analysis considers what was achieved; and recommendations for improving the plans are drawn from that review.
