governing documentDocuments that govern the control
- The current business continuity plan with version and approval · Policy repository / GRC workspace
- Traceability from the plan back to the chosen strategies · Policy repository / GRC workspace
- Distribution records showing plan holders have the current version · Policy repository / GRC workspace
- Maintenance record showing the plan was updated after change · Policy repository / GRC workspace
First move
This control is evidenced by people and documents, not systems. Put the document under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a record with reviewer and date. Do not try to automate it.
Common gaps auditors find
- Plan holders carrying superseded versions
- Plan contents not traceable to any strategy or impact analysis
- Plan lists contacts and systems that no longer exist
