Improving Business Continuity Testing and Exercising
“A survey of 200 companies with between 250 and 999 employees by Vanson Bourne found that, of the 81 percent of respondents stating that they had a business continuity plan, 50 percent had only partially tested plans and 18 percent had not tested any aspect of their plans. (1)
“A PricewaterhouseCoopers survey found that almost half of disaster recovery plans have not been tested in the last year.
“According to the Chartered Management Institute’s 2008 business continuity survey, 33 percent of organizations with a business continuity plan still do not undertake any form of exercise to test their plan.”
