ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
Your organization hosts a three-tier application on AWS and maintains a documented disaster recovery playbook that details how to restore the workload in a secondary region. Management wants to exercise the playbook next week without spinning up any resources, but they also want every recovery step read aloud, role assignments confirmed, and documentation gaps fixed in real time. Which BCP/DRP test type best satisfies these requirements?
A walkthrough test (also called a structured walk-through) is a facilitated meeting where participants verbally step through each procedure in the disaster recovery playbook, verify responsibilities, and update documentation. No systems are actually recovered, so there is no impact on production resources. A checklist review is less rigorous, generally performed individually rather than interactively. A parallel test brings up alternate processing systems alongside production and therefore requires cloud resources. A full-interruption test actually halts production services to validate recovery processes, which is far more disruptive than management wants.
