Viewing the Results of Tested BCPs
To view results of BCPs tested by an exercise:
1. See Accessing Exercises.
2. In the exercise properties, select the Results page.
For each tested BCP, you can view:
• status
• execution time
• RTO (of the process)
The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) determines the maximum tolerable amount of time it takes to bring critical systems back online, possibly in a Degraded Mode. It is related to downtime, representing target time following an incident for Product or service delivery resumption, or Activity resumption, or Resources recovery.• whether the BCP failed/succeded
Execution time is compared to the RTO:
|
If the execution time is:
|
... the result is:
|
|---|---|
|
- lower than the RTO
|
Operational
|
|
- higher than the RTO
|
Unsatisfactory
|
Depending on the results of each tested BCPs, two percentages are computed:
• Completion rate: percentage of BCPs that have been carried out
• Success rate: percentage of BCPs that have been performed within a period of time lower than the RTO
