CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 231

A company has contracted with an outside vendor to perform a service that will provide hardware, software, and procedures in case of a catastrophic failure of the primary datacenter. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is concerned because this contract does not include a long-term strategy for extended outages. Which of the following should the CIO complete?

Answer options

• A. Disaster recovery plan
• B. Business continuity plan
• C. Service level agreement
• D. First responder training

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a Business Continuity Plan focuses on maintaining essential functions during and after a disruption, including long-term strategies for extended outages. Option A, the Disaster Recovery Plan, typically addresses immediate recovery efforts rather than long-term continuity. Option C, the Service Level Agreement, outlines service expectations but does not cover outage strategies. Option D, First Responder Training, is important for immediate response but does not address the broader continuity needs of the organization.
