RC.RP-02.349
Does your organization have a process to reassess and update recovery plans based on changes in organizational needs and available resources?
Explanation
Keeping recovery plans current is the point of this item, namely whether you reassess and update them as organizational needs and available resources change. As organizations evolve, their recovery requirements and capabilities change, requiring updates to recovery time objectives, recovery point objectives, and recovery strategies.
Evidence could include documented review cycles of recovery plans, meeting minutes from recovery plan reassessment sessions, change logs showing updates to recovery plans based on resource changes, or formal reports comparing current organizational needs against existing recovery capabilities.
