EXIN Foundation in IT Service Management based on ISO/IEC 20000 — Question 16

What is the purpose of a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)?

Answer options

• A. to identify the vulnerability underlying a disaster
• B. to limit the consequences in case a disaster occurs C. to reduce the possibility of a disaster to occur
• C. to restore the situation back to how this was before the disaster

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a Disaster Recovery Plan is designed to minimize the impact of a disaster on an organization’s operations. Option A focuses on identifying vulnerabilities, which is not the primary purpose of a DRP. Option C aims at prevention rather than recovery, and option D concerns restoration rather than the immediate response to limit damage.
