CCSP Exam - Question 342


A comprehensive BCDR plan will encapsulate many or most of the traditional concerns of operating a system in any data center.

However, what is one consideration that is often overlooked with the formulation of a BCDR plan?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

One consideration that is often overlooked in the formulation of a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) plan is the availability of staff. During a disaster, it is not guaranteed that all key personnel will be available to manage the situation, which can severely impact the ability to restore services and maintain business continuity. Adequate planning must include contingencies for the absence of essential staff to ensure a comprehensive BCDR strategy.

Restoration of services is main focus of BC/DR planning. One area often gets missed out is availability of staff as key people may not be available when Disaster occurs hence unable to restore services. (Knowledge constrain etc), refer page 226 of official guide. Answer A

I would agree with A. The premise of BCP is continuing services and DR is returning the service to normal Ops.

This is an odd question, or rather a poorly written answer choice. Restoration of services is the whole point. The idea the explanation is getting at is failback.

I would select C. When you develop a BCDR plan your main focus and priority is to make sure all critical applications are available and you have the capacity and people to do it. The Restoration is the main goal, yes but it might be overlooked because the main prio is to make sure there is no business disruption.
