A program manager has completed an unsuccessful disaster recovery test. Which of the following should the risk practitioner recommend as the NEXT course of action?
A.
Identify what additional controls are needed
B.
Update the business impact analysis (BIA)
C.
Prioritize issues noted during the testing window
C: Prioritizing the issues identified during the disaster recovery test is essential for addressing the most critical weaknesses first. It allows the organization to focus its efforts on resolving the most significant problems that could impede disaster recovery efforts. While communication with management is crucial, it should follow the identification and prioritization of issues. Management needs to know the results and the proposed plan of action, which includes prioritized issues and steps for remediation.
C. Prioritize issues noted during the testing window: This is the most immediate and practical step. The purpose of disaster recovery testing is to identify weaknesses in the recovery plan. Once these issues are identified, the next step is to prioritize them based on factors like impact, likelihood of occurrence, and resource availability. This prioritization helps in systematically addressing the deficiencies in an effective manner.
While communication with management is crucial, it is more effective once a clear understanding of the issues and their priorities is established. Management will need to know not just that the test was unsuccessful, but also what the key issues are and how they are being prioritized for resolution.
The next course of action after an unsuccessful disaster recovery test should be to communicate test results to management. This will allow management to be aware of the issues that were identified during the test and to make decisions about how to proceed.
Following an unsuccessful disaster recovery test, it's important to analyze the results and prioritize the issues that were identified during the testing. These issues should be addressed based on their severity and potential impact on the business, ensuring that the most critical issues are addressed first.
