CISM Exam - Question 814


Which of the following is the BEST reason for an organization to use Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AC

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is a cloud-based service model that allows organizations to back up their data and IT infrastructure in a third-party cloud environment and provides all the DR orchestration via a SaaS solution to regain access and functionality to IT infrastructure after a disaster. The best reason for an organization to use DRaaS is that it eliminates the need to maintain offsite facilities. By leveraging a third-party's infrastructure, organizations can avoid the significant costs and complexity associated with setting up and maintaining their own offsite disaster recovery environments.

I like C. How can you transfer Risk (Answer A) to 3rd party, this is organization business not 3rd party's ones. You can transfer in case of insurance at a possible high cost even if low probability

I like D:DRaaS offers several benefits for your infrastructure security, such as cost savings, reliability, and flexibility. Cost savings are achieved by eliminating the need to invest in and maintain expensive hardware, software, and physical space for backup and recovery.

DRaaS requirements and expectations are documented in a service-level agreement (SLA), and the third-party vendor provides failover to a computing environment, either through a contract or on a pay-per-use basis. This would reduce the cost of having a second site

The answer is C. The BEST reason is eliminating the need to maintain offsite facilities. Yes D is a good answer, but C goes into why it will eliminate cost.

Should be C. You won't be able to transfer the risk to third party (A). The risk still remains with the organisation.

How can it be Risk transfer? Is moving On Premises MS office to Office 365 considered risk transfer? Are IaaS, Paas, and SaaS considered risk transfer? I do not think so.

I think moving the services to Third parties, DRaas, IaaS, Paas, and Saas are about business objectives, specialization, and off load the works. In this case, I would focus on specialization and workload. Moving to third party can off load the work, letting the employees focus on the core business, that is the point.

it's C, it wont transfer the risk to third party, it's a SaaS, the organization still need to take responsibility for their data.
