GIAC Security Essentials Certification (GSEC) — Question 52

Which of the following elements is the most important requirement to ensuring the success of a business continuity plan?

Answer options

• A. Disaster Recover Plans
• B. Anticipating all relevant threats
• C. Executive buy-in
• D. Clearly defining roles and responsibilities
• E. Training

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Executive buy-in is crucial for the success of a business continuity plan because it ensures that leadership is committed to the necessary resources and support for implementation. While the other elements are important, without executive backing, the plan may lack the authority and funding needed to be effective. This support fosters a culture of preparedness and prioritizes continuity planning across the organization.
