IIA-CIA-Part3 Exam - Question 198


An organization that relies heavily on IT wants to contain the impact of potential business disruption to a period of approximately four to seven days. Which of the following business recovery strategies would most efficiently meet this organization’s needs?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

The organization needs to contain business disruption within a period of approximately four to seven days. The most appropriate strategy for this timeframe is a warm site, which is a separate site that has already been secured, with configurable hardware and data backups. This allows for a faster recovery compared to a cold site, where hardware and data backups are not immediately available, but it is less immediate and costly than a hot site, which requires fully configured hardware and real-time synchronized data.

That'd be a hot recovery site with the quickest and the most expensive solution to consider
