CISSP – Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (ISSAP) — Question 11

You work as a CSO (Chief Security Officer) for Tech Perfect Inc. You have a disaster scenario and you want to discuss it with your team members for getting appropriate responses of the disaster. In which of the following disaster recovery tests can this task be performed?

Answer options

• A. Full-interruption test
• B. Parallel test
• C. Simulation test
• D. Structured walk-through test

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, the Simulation test, as it enables team members to discuss and evaluate responses to a disaster scenario without impacting the live environment. The other options, such as Full-interruption and Parallel tests, involve actual operational disruption or running systems concurrently, which do not facilitate discussion in a controlled manner.
