Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 313

Which of the following is a concern when an organization's disaster recovery strategy utilizes a hot site?

Answer options

• A. Insufficient environmental controls
• B. Significant distance from the primary data center
• C. The lack of networking infrastructure
• D. Conflicts due to reciprocal agreements with other organizations

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because reciprocal agreements with other organizations can lead to conflicts, which may hinder recovery efforts. Options A, B, and C are less relevant to hot sites, as they typically have robust environmental controls, are often located close to the primary site, and usually have the necessary networking infrastructure in place.
