CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 94

Which of the following best practices gives administrators a set period to perform changes to an operational system to ensure availability and minimize business impacts?

Answer options

• A. Impact analysis
• B. Scheduled downtime
• C. Backout plan
• D. Change management boards

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, Scheduled downtime, provides a specific window for making system changes, thereby minimizing disruptions to business operations. Impact analysis assesses potential effects of changes but does not ensure a set time for implementation. A backout plan outlines steps to revert changes if needed but does not address the timing of changes, while change management boards focus on overseeing changes rather than scheduling them.
