File: prescriptive-guidance/latest/security-best-practices/test.md

Summary

Updated navigation link, fixed apostrophe formatting, and added step numbering to two section headers.

Security assessment

Changes are cosmetic/structural without altering security guidance. Step numbering improves readability but doesn't introduce new security information.

-If you don’t frequently test such restore operations, you might find that your assumptions on AWS KMS encryption for cross-account, cross-Region operations are incorrect. Often, the only backup recovery pattern that actually works is the path you test frequently. Through routine testing of supported backup resource types, you can spot early warnings that could potentially cause future disturbances and loss of critical data. If possible, maintain a limited but feasible number of recovery paths and patterns to prevent wasted storage space, optimize costs, and save time. Fixing the problem when a recovery test fails is easier than losing valuable or critical data.
