Testing BCM and DR Plans - Part 2: Test Types and Planning

Carrying on from our last episode, this week's show focuses on the various ways we can test our Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans; from basic walkthroughs to full scale simulations. We'll discuss how to start documenting the planning process; from walkthroughs to full scale simulations. The Test Charter will ensure that all teams involved work from the same 'playbook' allowing for a greater level of understanding, awareness, direction and ultimately success. By using this approach and helping to increase test awareness and the activities involved, you'll be able to test the plan, rather than plan the test. Listen in for some great tips on how to manage and facilitate your BC / DR tests for greater results.
