John works as a security manager for SoftTech Inc. He is working with his team on the disaster recovery management plan. One of his team members has a doubt related to the most cost effective DRP testing plan. According to you, which of the following disaster recovery testing plans is the most cost-effective and efficient way to identify areas of overlap in the plan before conducting more demanding training exercises?
The structured walk-through test is also known as the table-top exercise. In structured walk-through test, the team members walkthrough
the plan to identify and correct weaknesses and how they will respond to the emergency scenarios by stepping in the course of the plan. It is
the most effective and competent way to identify the areas of overlap in the plan before conducting more challenging training exercises.
Answer A is incorrect. In full-scale exercise, the critical systems run at an alternate site.
Answer B is incorrect. The emergency management group and response teams actually perform their emergency response functions by
walking through the test, without actually initiating recovery procedures. But it is not much cost effective.
Answer D is incorrect. It is a test performed when personnel walks through the evacuation route to a designated area where
procedures for accounting for the personnel are tested.
