Business Continuity Professional Exam Prep #2

Answer: A - Since the orientation testing is primarily an explanation of roles and responsibilities, it does not require a debriefing at the end. However, the other three types of testing (tabletop, functional, and full scale) require the participant to react or provide opinions on what they would do. Because of this, these three types require a debriefing to help participants judge if they reacted appropriately.

Key Takeaway: A debriefing after a Business Continuity Plan test will provide the participants with immediate feedback on their performance and will allow the BCP team to receive feedback from the participants based on any outages in the BCP plan or implementation.
