Audit of business continuity planning .: V32-302/2014E-PDF
Business Continuity Planning (BCP) involves the development and timely execution of plans, measures, procedures and arrangements to ensure minimal or no interruption to the availability of critical services and assets. Business continuity plans outline the strategies, resources, and procedures required to restore critical services to the public, as quickly and effectively as possible. The objective of this audit was to assess Veterans Affairs Canada’s compliance with Treasury Board requirements for BCP. The scope covered the status of BCP within the Department as at December 31, 2013. The audit team observed that a BCP process had been fully established at Veterans Affairs Canada. Audit results confirmed that the Department was complying with key requirements, although there is a need to update the departmental BCP policy and ensure that a business continuity plan is developed specifically for information technology. Overall, the audit team determined the results to be “Generally Acceptable”.
