Annex A 5.30
New in 2022ICT readiness for business continuity
ICT readiness is planned, implemented, maintained and tested against business continuity objectives and ICT continuity requirements.
What an assessor looks for
New in 2022. Expect recovery objectives derived from a business impact analysis rather than asserted, and test results at meaningful scale rather than a single-system restore.
Where it usually fails
A recovery time objective was set years ago, has never been validated by testing, and is contradicted by the actual restore throughput.
