The IT security section - Criterion 4.2.2 Information security  is quite
clear that backups, restorations, security ie Information Disaster Recovery
Plan, Logs of Restoration, Logs of updates, Logs of Upgrades, IT security
checklist - the GPCG one which is similar to the B4H and which is all documented
in practice manual and is known by all staff when interviewed and the IT
nominated person must know all.

As to level of IT knowledge outthere amongst surveyors - very few know much,
nor are many surveyors RNs so cannot possibly understand the new clinical
implications for allied staff working in practices. It is not only IT.

Fee,

I'd suggest that you read 4.2.2 again. Test restores aren't mentioned.

The GPCG security manual is mentioned as a reference and the standard is silent on what constitutes an adequate disaster plan, but refers to power failures.

It does not say that the GPCG checklist or items in the manual template form part of the standard.
