Title: Test the business continuity and disaster recovery plan
Ownership: Customer
Description: Microsoft recommends that your organization assesses the effectiveness of the Business Continuity Plan and Disaster Recovery Plan through testing (i.e., tabletop or simulated crisis exercises). We recommend tests that: - Are consistent with its business continuity objectives - Are based on appropriate scenarios that are well planned - Employ mechanisms to disrupt and adversely affect the system or system component - Develop teamwork, competence, confidence, and knowledge for those who have roles to perform in relation to disruptions - Validate business continuity strategies and solutions - Use a sample of backup information in the restoration of selected system functions - Include alternate facilities - Include utilities services - Produce formal post-exercise reports that contain outcomes, recommendations, and actions to implement improvements and those results are shared with key stakeholders - Are performed at planned intervals - Include automated mechanisms - Are coordinated with organizational elements responsible for related plans Microsoft recommends that your organization update the Business Continuity Plan and Disaster Recovery Plan based on the results of testing and initiate corrective actions if required. We recommend that your organization develop and adequately communicate the crisis plan to appropriate internal and external stakeholders. It is also suggested that your organization establish and communicate standard procedures for reporting possible information security incidents to a designated officer or organizational unit or appropriate law enforcement authorities. It is recommended that your organization notify law enforcement authorities about any situations involving criminal violations requiring immediate attention. Philippine's regulations require your organization to notify the National Privacy Commission of any incident involving unauthorized disclosure of sensitive personal information and to notify affected customers. It is recommended to consider the potential impact of evolving cyber events and incorporate this into your organization's business continuity planning, while instituting adequate cyber resilience capabilities. It is also suggested to consider cyber-related attacks and incidents in the business continuity management and recovery processes to achieve cyber resilience.

FedRAMP_High_R4 CP-4 FedRAMP_High_R4_CP-4 FedRAMP High CP-4 Contingency Planning Contingency Plan Testing Shared n/a The organization: a. Tests the contingency plan for the information system [Assignment: organization-defined frequency] using [Assignment: organization-defined tests] to determine the effectiveness of the plan and the organizational readiness to execute the plan; b. Reviews the contingency plan test results; and c. Initiates corrective actions, if needed. Supplemental Guidance: Methods for testing contingency plans to determine the effectiveness of the plans and to identify potential weaknesses in the plans include, for example, walk-through and tabletop exercises, checklists, simulations (parallel, full interrupt), and comprehensive exercises. Organizations conduct testing based on the continuity requirements in contingency plans and include a determination of the effects on organizational operations, assets, and individuals arising due to contingency operations. Organizations have flexibility and discretion in the breadth, depth, and timelines of corrective actions. Related controls: CP-2, CP-3, IR-3.
