Business Continuity Plan Testing Templates

Testing your business continuity gives the highest level of confidence that your plans will will work as expected when a real-life incident hits your organisation. But that confidence level will be significantly impacted by the quality of the test.  The quality of your test will depend on:

​

• The scenario chosen for the BCP test

• The relevance of the impacts in the scenario to the activities of your organisation

• How the test is delivered

• The evaluation criteria applied - in other words, how you will be measuring "success"

These considerations can make developing and facilitating a test of your business continuity plan a daunting task - particularly if you don't have access to a comprehensive framework of guidance, templates and information resources to support you through each stage of business continuity plan test development.
