Certified Incident Handler (ECIH v3) — Question 14

Contingency planning enables organizations to develop and maintain effective methods to handle emergencies. Every organization will have its own specific requirements that the planning should address. There are five major components of the IT contingency plan, namely supporting information, notification activation, recovery and reconstitution and plan appendices. What is the main purpose of the reconstitution plan?

Answer options

• A. To restore the original site, tests systems to prevent the incident and terminates operations
• B. To define the notification procedures, damage assessments and offers the plan activation
• C. To provide the introduction and detailed concept of the contingency plan
• D. To provide a sequence of recovery activities with the help of recovery procedures

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The reconstitution plan primarily focuses on restoring the original operational environment after an incident, which includes testing systems to avoid future occurrences. Options B and C deal with procedures and introductions that do not directly relate to reestablishing operations, while D pertains to recovery activities rather than the ultimate restoration of the original site.
