Backup and recovery procedures are critical for disaster recovery and contingency planning. Since these are often automated, auditors sometimes forget to test the completeness of the process or the recovery simulation. In this session, we cover the key aspects of this control compared to requirements in FISCAM and NIST 800-53.
