Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 684

Which type of recovery site is MOST reliable and can support stringent recovery requirements?

Answer options

• A. Cold site
• B. Warm site
• C. Mobile site
• D. Hot site

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A Hot site is the most reliable option because it is fully equipped and operational, allowing for immediate recovery and minimal downtime. In contrast, a Cold site lacks equipment and requires time to set up, while a Warm site is partially equipped but not ready for immediate use. A Mobile site offers flexibility but may not always meet stringent recovery requirements as effectively as a Hot site.
