The below link will give access to the BSI Published Document (PD 25666:2009) and relates to guidance on testing and exercising business continuity, emergency planning and general contingency arrangements. Although Information Technology is specifically mentioned, it is intended that the guidance can be used by any agency to test and validate their suite of plans.
