Which of the following is the BEST way to ensure the business continuity plan (BCP)...

[References: The CISM Review Manual 2023 states that “testing is a critical component of the BCP process” and that “testing can help ensure that the BCP is current, effective, and efficient, and that it meets the business objectives and expectations” (p. 195). The CISM Review Questions, Answers & Explanations Manual 2023 also provides the following rationale for this answer: “Conducting periodic testing is the correct answer because it is the best way to ensure the BCP is current, as it can evaluate the BCP against the current business environment, processes, and requirements, and identify any areas for improvement or update” (p. 98). Additionally, the article Business Continuity Planning: Testing an Organization’s Plan from the ISACA Journal 2019 states that “testing is essential to ensure that the BCP is current and effective” and that “testing can provide assurance that the BCP is aligned with the business needs and expectations, and that the BCP team members are competent and confident in executing their tasks” (p. 1), , , , , , , , , ]
