The named organisation provides services to my Department operating under service level agreements (SLAs). In particular, certain SLAs specify that the organisation has Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity plans, covering services provided to my Department, that are tested on a regular basis. These detailed plans, while not itemised in the SLA, include data security, data breach protection, appropriate technology (software and hardware) and appropriate back-up systems.

I understand that the plans are regularly assessed and tested by ICBF and are included as risks in their organisational risk management system.
