On Tuesday, September 19, the Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity (DR\/BC) Community of Practice (CoP)<\/a> welcomed Paul Millis from Audit Services, who shared how an audit of a disaster recovery program is approached. The key takeaways from the presentation are below. The presentation slides and recording are accessible in the CoP group’s Google Drive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auditing Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity can be summarized as making sure that you create a plan, update your plan, train on your plan, and then test the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The objective of a DR\/BC audit is to evaluate the people, process, and technology components of the response (plan) to assess the likelihood that these plans will effectively protect critical assets in a real emergency. The benefits of an audit are that it will reveal gaps in your DR\/BC planning and ensure that your plan is robust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
