When updating the recovery plan, which document should be reviewed?

When updating the recovery plan, reviewing the lessons learned from previous incidents is crucial because these assessments provide insights into what worked well and what did not during past recovery efforts. This knowledge enables organizations to identify gaps and make improvements in their recovery strategies. Analyzing past incidents facilitates a deeper understanding of potential risks and challenges, leading to a more effective and resilient recovery plan.

Incorporating lessons learned helps ensure that the organization can adapt to changing conditions and challenges, which is essential for enhancing the overall effectiveness of the recovery plan. By reflecting on real-world experiences, organizations can create more informed, practical, and actionable recovery strategies. This continuous learning process forms a fundamental aspect of risk management and preparedness within the framework of the NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection standards.
