Business Continuity Professional Exam Prep #2

Answer: A - The Risk Assessment should be used to identify potential events that could occur and would need to be tested during the BCP testing phase.

Key Takeaway: Use the events identified in the Risk Assessment to design testing procedures to test the effectiveness of the Business Continuity Plan. For example, if one of the risks identified in the Risk Assessment was a power failure, design a test scenario that will simulate a power failure and monitor the results. Those test results can then be used for improving the Business Continuity Plan.
