Which of the following business continuity activities prioritizes the recovery of critical functions?
A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is a process that helps to identify and prioritize critical business functions based on their impact on the organization. It assesses the effects of interruption to those functions and sets recovery time objectives, ensuring that essential processes are restored quickly after a disruption. This prioritization is crucial for developing effective business continuity and disaster recovery plans.
Answer should be A
A: BIA prioritizes the recovery of critical func.
A should be the answer here. BIA is used to identify the critical processes and this is the first step of creating BCP
Undoubtedly, A is the right answer.
Keyword here is "Recovery" of critical functions. BIA helps identify and prioritize critical functions for continuity, however DRP would help in prioritizing the recovery. Per CRM, Disaster recovery planning, in support of business operations/provisioning IT service, is an element of an internal control system established to manage availability and restore critical processes/IT services in the event of interruption
Answer A is the correct answer
go with D BIA helps identify critical buiness process
Answer: A
The BIA is explicitly designed to identify and prioritize critical business functions and their required recovery times. This is a strategic assessment that informs both the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and the Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP). DRP testing is a tactical exercise that ensures the recovery procedures for IT systems work as intended. It verifies that the systems prioritized by the BIA can be recovered within the required timeframes. Again, another question I cannot agree with results
Completely agree with you sentiments. Disaster recovery plan (DRP) testing tests the procedures for recovering IT systems and infrastructure but does not prioritize overall business functions without considering their criticality as identified in a BIA.
answear should A due to the fact that according to the CRM , BIA is used to evaluate critical processed (and IT components supporting them )and to determine time frames, priorities, resorces and interdependencies.
Critical functions are those that should be prioritized according to the results of the business impact analysis.
only know answer A
