The CISO of a financial services company wants to evaluate the organization's disaster recovery plan without disrupting business operations. The executive is particularly concerned about validating whether the documented procedures are comprehensive and easily understood by all stakeholders. Which type of disaster recovery test would best meet these requirements?
A read-through/tabletop exercise is ideal for this scenario because it allows stakeholders to review the disaster recovery plan documentation without disrupting systems or operations. This exercise focuses on evaluating the clarity and completeness of the plan by having participants discuss their roles and responsibilities while identifying gaps in documentation. Unlike walkthrough tests (which verify physical locations and equipment), simulation tests (which execute recovery procedures), or parallel tests (which activate recovery sites), the read-through/tabletop approach is specifically designed to validate that procedures are comprehensive and understandable without any operational impact.
