CISSP Exam - Question 32


In a disaster recovery (DR) test, which of the following would be a trait of crisis management?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

Process is a trait of crisis management because it encompasses the systematic approach an organization takes to handle and recover from disruptive events. In a disaster recovery test, having a defined and efficient process ensures that responses are organized, timely, and effective, minimizing the impact of the disaster. This structured approach is essential for managing resources, making informed decisions, and executing recovery plans accurately.

The answer is B. Anticipate. Crisis management is the process of planning and responding to unexpected events that can have a negative impact on an organization. One of the key traits of crisis management is the ability to anticipate potential problems and develop plans to mitigate their impact. This means being able to think ahead and identify potential risks, as well as having a plan in place to deal with them if they do occur.

Answer C In a disaster recovery test, crisis management is the process of creating a plan for how an organization will react, respond, and recover from a disaster. This requires a strategic approach, which involves anticipating potential disasters, creating a process for responding to them, and having a wide focus that considers the impacts to all of the organization's stakeholders.

A. Process is a trait of crisis management in a disaster recovery (DR) test. Crisis management involves a set of processes that organizations use to respond to and recover from disruptive events, such as natural disasters, cyber attacks, or other types of incidents that can impact critical systems and data. During a DR test, organizations simulate a crisis scenario to evaluate their ability to respond and recover from an actual event. By testing their crisis management processes, organizations can identify areas for improvement and ensure that their DR plans are effective and up-to-date.

Process is a trait of everything you can manage. When you make coffee, there's a process. When you do DR/Crisis Management, there's a process. When you do SDLC or change management, there's a process. But anticipation is key for both DR and CM, I think B is correct.

A. The question refers to what crisis management seeks to verify when a DRP is activated. And what we seek to verify is the crisis management process. The question does not ask what is the best approach to testing the DRP and crisis management process; If so, the correct answer would be to do it in "anticipate", but this is not the focus of the question.

CISSP Official Study Guide pg 882 "Crisis management steps in to cover crises of all forms. These may include more commonplace disasters, such as a facility fire, or more extraordinary events, such as a global pandemic. Organizations may also activate their crisis management programs for events with little impact on technology, such as a public relations disaster."

After re-reading this question - its specific to DR testing - answer is A. CISSP Offical Study Guide pg 881 - "If a disaster strikes your organization, panic is likely to set in. The best way to combat this is with an organized disaster recovery plan. The individuals in your business who are rnost likely to first notice an emergency situation (such as security guards and technical personnel) should be fully trained in disaster recovery procedures and know the proper notification procedures and immediate response mechanisms. Many things that normally seem like common sense (such as calling emergency services in the event of a fire) may slip the minds of panicked employees seeking to flee an emergency. The best way to combat this is with continuous training on disaster recovery responsibilities. Returning to the fire example, all employees should be trained to activate the fire alarm or contact emergency officials when they spot a fire…"

Going with B. "Process" isn't really a trait whereas "Anticipate" is. Also, the AIO textbook goes over different DRP testing and conducting testing/exercises to improve results (actions from teams and individuals) over time. In other words, training people to ANTICIPATE or be ready for certain events in order to carry out the DRP (which would be where processes can come into play). -CISSP AIO Exam Guide: Ninth Edition pg.10601-1064
