Which of the following will most likely ensure that mission-critical services are available in the event of an incident?
Which of the following will most likely ensure that mission-critical services are available in the event of an incident?
A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is essential to ensure that mission-critical services are available in the event of an incident. While disaster recovery focuses on restoring IT infrastructure and operations post-disaster, a business continuity plan encompasses a broader range of strategies aimed at maintaining essential functions during and after any unplanned incident, ensuring minimal disruption to operations.
The Answer here is A, because a business continuity plan (BCP) is a document that consists of the critical information an organization needs to continue operating during an unplanned event. The BCP states the essential functions of the business, identifies which systems and processes must be sustained, and details how to maintain them. Note that a Disaster recovery plan is a document to re-energise systems or repair a system after it has been affected by a bad incidents
This is incorrect, it is Disaster Recovery Plan, which is how to restore mission critical systems in case of a disaster, a BCP involves everyone and everything during and after a disaster
The question makes no mention of a "Disaster" so A is the correct answer.
Agreed
A) BCP From CompTIA Certmaster, Topic 8A: Exploring Incident Response Planning Disaster recovery describes the efforts taken to restore infected systems to a safe operating state. By comparison, business continuity describes the work the organization does to keep running, manage the legal ramification of the event, keep staff employed, work with insurance companies, provide internal and external communications regarding the event and its ramifications, investigate the root cause, develop plans to prevent reoccurrence, and much more.
BC - enables a business continue if there is an incident. DR - enables a business to recovery from a disaster.
a business continuity plan (BCP) is a document that consists of the critical information an organization needs to continue operating during an unplanned event.
notice the word incident in the question, it is not disaster so the answer is A which is BCP
The answer is A. I just took the ICS2 CC exam and passed. BCP is the choice anytime the words continuity or continuous are used. Disaster Recovery Plan is how you get the critical systems back up and functioning. I also work as a Site Reliability Engineer and maintaining the BCP and DRP are part of my job.
This is a good read. https://www.ibm.com/blog/business-continuity-vs-disaster-recovery-plan/
C. DRP In the context of the question about ensuring mission-critical services, both a Business Continuity Plan and a Disaster Recovery Plan are important. However, when it comes to specifically ensuring the availability of mission-critical services in the event of an incident, a Disaster Recovery Plan is more directly focused on the IT aspects critical for service availability.
*ISC2 CC
I say A (BCP) is a better choice for this question.
A disaster recovery plan (DRP) outlines the procedures and protocols to follow in the event of a disaster or disruptive incident that affects the availability of critical systems and services. It typically includes strategies for restoring operations, recovering data, and ensuring the continuity of essential business functions. By having a robust disaster recovery plan in place, organizations can minimize downtime, mitigate the impact of incidents, and ensure the availability of mission-critical services during and after the occurrence of disruptive events. While option (A) Business continuity plan is an essential component of an organization's overall resilience strategy, it does not specifically address the restoration and availability of mission-critical services in the same way that a disaster recovery plan does.
Business continuity is an organization's ability to maintain critical business functions during and after a disaster has occurred. (https://www.techtarget.com/searchdisasterrecovery/definition/business-continuity)
The answer is C - DRP
in the CySA+ study guide says. The goal of the business continuity program is to ensure that the organization is able to maintain normal operations even during an unexpected event. When an incident strikes, business continuity controls may protect the business’ core functions from disruption. The goal of the disaster recovery program is to help the organization quickly recover normal operations if they are disrupted. An incident may cause service disruptions that would trigger the disaster recovery plan.
Disaster Recovery is a subset of BCP and only pertains to natural disasters. This question implies its just an incident, no natural disasters
A. Business Continuity Plan (BCP): While a BCP is crucial for ensuring the continuation of business operations during and after a disaster, it encompasses a broader scope than a DRP. BCPs are designed to keep the entire business running, not just the IT or mission-critical services. Although most voted for in your options, a BCP includes the DRP as part of its framework. The DRP is more specifically targeted at restoring critical IT services, which is why C is a more precise answer.
I choose A and not C, because the disaster recovery plan is a subset of a business continuity plan that focuses on restoring the IT infrastructure and data after a disaster or incident
