Testing and Maintenance

Testing and maintenance in Business Continuity Management (BCM) ensure that an organization can effectively respond to emergencies or disruptions. Testing involves regularly practicing plans through simulations or drills to identify weaknesses and improve response strategies. Maintenance refers to the ongoing updates and adjustments needed for these plans as the business evolves or new risks arise. Together, they help ensure that a company can keep its critical functions running during crises, protecting its employees, assets, and reputation. Regular testing and maintenance are crucial for having a reliable and effective continuity plan when unexpected events occur.
