Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 23

When developing a business continuity plan (BCP), it is MOST important to:

Answer options

• A. develop a multi-channel communication plan
• B. prioritize critical services to be restored
• C. identify a geographically dispersed disaster recovery site
• D. identify an alternative location to host operations

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Prioritizing critical services to be restored is crucial because it ensures that the most important functions of the business are operational as quickly as possible after a disruption. While developing a communication plan, identifying a recovery site, and finding an alternative location are important, they become secondary to ensuring that key services are back online first.
