Plan Testing, Training, And Exercises

DR Plan testing is a critical element of a viable contingency capability. Testing enables plan deficiencies to be identified and addressed. NAAT designed test plans also helps evaluate the ability of the IT staff to implement the plan quickly and effectively. Each IT contingency plan element should be tested to confirm the accuracy of individual recovery procedures and the overall effectiveness of the plan. The following areas are addressed in a contingency test:

 ·        System recovery on an alternate platform from backup media.

 ·         Coordination among recovery teams.

 ·         Internal and external connectivity.

 ·         System performance using alternate equipment.

 ·         Restoration of normal operations.

 ·         Notification procedures.
