CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 165

Due to adverse events, a medium-sized corporation suffered a major operational disruption that caused its servers to crash and experience a major power outage. Which of the following should be created to prevent this type of issue in the future?

Answer options

• A. SLA
• B. BIA
• C. BCM
• D. BCP
• E. RTO

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is essential for outlining procedures to maintain operations during and after disruptions, thus preventing future incidents. An SLA (Service Level Agreement) defines service expectations but doesn't address continuity. A BIA (Business Impact Analysis) assesses risks but doesn't provide a plan, while BCM (Business Continuity Management) is a broader term that includes BCP but isn't a specific plan itself. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is a metric within BCP, not a standalone solution.
