# Clause 8.3.5: Implementation of solutions

Implement and maintain the selected business continuity solutions so that they can be activated when they are needed.

Cloud: Implementation is where strategies become configurations: replication, backups, runbooks, access paths and alerting. Each one should have an owner and a test date.

Evidence: Implementation records per selected solution; Maintenance regime keeping the solution in an activatable state; Readiness evidence such as a successful activation test or standby verification.

Test: Check each implemented solution has an owner and a scheduled test.
