Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) — Question 64

You are advising a school district on disaster recovery plans. In case a disaster affects the main IT centers for the district they will need to be able to work from an alternate location. However, budget is an issue. Which of the following is most appropriate for this client?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: D, A

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Hot site, because it provides a fully functional backup location that can be used immediately after a disaster, which is essential for maintaining operations. A, Cold site, is not suitable as it lacks immediate operational capability and requires setup time, making it less appropriate given the need for quick recovery.
