The DRP is a set of procedures and resources that enable an organization to restore its critical IT functions and operations in the event of a disaster or disruption. The DRP should be tested regularly to ensure its effectiveness, validity, and readiness. Testing the DRP can help to identify and resolve any gaps, issues, or weaknesses in the plan, as well as to evaluate the performance and capability of the recovery team and resources. If the DRP has not been tested during the past three years, it may not reflect the current IT environment, business requirements, or recovery objectives, and it may fail to meet the expectations and needs of the stakeholders.
