CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 431

Which of the following is the best way to validate the integrity and availability of a disaster recovery site?

Answer options

• A. Lead a simulated failover.
• B. Conduct a tabletop exercise.
• C. Periodically test the generators.
• D. Develop requirements for database encryption.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Leading a simulated failover is the most comprehensive way to test a disaster recovery site, as it demonstrates the actual operational capabilities during a real disaster. The other options, such as conducting a tabletop exercise, testing generators, and developing encryption requirements, do not provide the same level of practical validation for the recovery site's readiness.
