Business Recovery Team Exercise |
Teed Business Continuity can design and facilitate exercises to test the ability of business areas and representatives to recover effectively from an adverse situation.
Once business continuity plans have been developed, the business areas or business recovery teams that are to participate in exercises will be identified and a schedule of exercise dates proposed and agreed (each involving one or more defined business areas).
- An exercise manual will be produced detailing the scope and objectives for each exercise e.g. to ensure identified manual workarounds are feasible or to find out if the roles and responsibilities of team members are appropriate and clearly understood etc.
- Appropriate scenarios that satisfy the objectives of the exercises will be documented within the exercise manual
- Exercises and post-exercise review discussions will be facilitated
- An Exercise Outcome Report will be produced, providing an overview of how each exercise went, the scenario followed, actions & decisions taken by participants, a summary of key issues raised and actions required post-incident to improve business continuity effectiveness
The majority of business recovery team exercises are likely to be tabletop exercises, although on occasion it may be more appropriate to hold a more dynamic exercise (e.g. link in to technical recovery test, implement manual workarounds or contingencies, testing contact number information, deny access to workspace etc.).
