Which of the following BEST indicates that an organization has effectively tested its business continuity and disaster recovery plans within the stated recovery time objectives (RTOs)?
The primary purpose of business continuity and disaster recovery plans is to ensure that the organization can resume its critical business functions within the stated recovery time objectives (RTOs) after a disruptive event. RTOs are based on the business needs and the impact analysis of each function or process. Therefore, meeting the business needs is the best indicator that the plans are effective. Regulatory requirements, internal compliance requirements, and risk management objectives are important factors that influence the development and testing of the plans, but they are not the ultimate measure of their effectiveness.
