Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 967

Which of the following BEST helps to ensure the effective execution of an organization's disaster recovery plan (DRP)?

Answer options

• A. The plan is based on industry best practices.
• B. The plan is reviewed by senior and IT operational management.
• C. Procedures are available at the primary and failover location.
• D. Process steps are documented by the disaster recovery team.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Having procedures available at both the primary and failover locations ensures that recovery efforts can be executed without delay during a disaster, making option C the best choice. While the other options contribute to the overall effectiveness of the plan, they do not directly address the need for accessibility of procedures during an actual event.
