Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 419

Which of the following has the GREATEST positive impact on the ability to execute a disaster recovery plan (DRP)?

Answer options

• A. Updating the plan periodically
• B. Conducting a walk-through of the plan
• C. Storing the plan at an offsite location
• D. Communicating the plan to all stakeholders.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Conducting a walk-through of the plan ensures that all stakeholders are familiar with their roles and responsibilities during a disaster, which can significantly enhance preparedness. While updating the plan, storing it offsite, and communicating it are important, they do not provide the same level of practical experience and understanding that a walk-through offers.
