Why should testing be a key component of a successful Business Continuity Plan?
  1. Because it is a regulatory mandate
  2. Because it will improve the effectiveness of the BCP implementation during a crisis
  3. Because senior management requires it
  4. Testing is not a key component to BCP success
Explanation
Answer: B - A Business Continuity Plan should be subjected to periodic testing to ensure that the plans that are put into place are effective and that each person involved is able to perform their responsibilities.

Key Takeaway: Testing is an essential function to a successful Business Continuity Plan. Testing will expose weaknesses in the plan and individual personnel’s capability. Based on the results of BCP testing, changes and additional training can be implemented so that during an actual crisis event, the organization will be better able to react.
