Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 978

Which of the following is the PRIMARY advantage of an organization using Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) to help manage its disaster recovery program?

Answer options

• A. It offers the organization flexible deployment options using cloud infrastructure.
• B. It allows the organization to prioritize its core operations.
• C. It is more secure than traditional data backup architecture.
• D. It allows the use of a professional response team at a lower cost.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, highlights that DRaaS allows organizations to concentrate on their core activities by offloading disaster recovery responsibilities. Option A, while true about flexibility, does not address the primary advantage. Option C suggests improved security, which is not inherently true for DRaaS over traditional methods. Option D mentions cost-effectiveness of a professional team, but it is not the main benefit compared to prioritizing core operations.
