CPS 230 para 40 Maintain BCP execution capability; monitor tolerances; report breaches to the Board

The entity must keep the capability needed to carry out the BCP, including access to technology, resources and people (which may be held in-house or under an agreement with another party, in which case that agreement must meet the service provider requirements of this standard). It must monitor whether tolerance levels are being met and report any failure to meet them to the Board together with a remediation plan.

where the evidence lives
teal = a system already holds it · olive = produced at each review. To go live: easy when half or more of the artefacts are already held by a system, moderate from a quarter to a half, hard below a quarter.

These are the artefacts auditors commonly ask for on this requirement, our guidance rather than text from the standard. Your assessor decides what is sufficient in your context, and asks for samples across the period when a report covers one.
