In response to a question posed by an internal auditor, management indicated that there is an agreement in place to quickly rent servers and desktop workstations to restore operations from tapes stored at an off-site location. Which of the following plans would the auditor most likely conclude is currently in place for the organization?
A cold recovery plan is a type of disaster recovery plan where equipment, such as servers and desktop workstations, is not readily available and needs to be procured or rented quickly in the event of a disaster. This plan also relies on data backups stored off-site. Given the information that there is an agreement to rent servers and workstations, it is most likely that the organization has a cold recovery plan in place.
Is quick renting really means hot recovery? I think it should be B. Any thoughts?
