CISA Domain 4: Business Continuity & DR GovernanceThis episode is part of the CISA Audit Judgment Series — a structured learning path focused on Domains 4 and 5, the heaviest-weighted areas of the CISA exam.In this episode, we analyze a Disaster Recovery test that was declared “successful” — even though no real failover occurred, no production data was restored, and no business validation took place. The test passed on paper, but not in reality.
