In addition to life, protection of which of the following elements is MOST important when planning a data center site?
When planning a data center site, after life, the most crucial elements to protect are data and hardware. Data is fundamental to the operations and continuity of any organization, and data breaches or losses can have severe financial and reputational consequences. Hardware, while replaceable, houses the data and supports critical business operations. Thus, protecting both data and hardware is paramount to ensure business continuity and integrity.
Question tripped me up. Remember this is asking what you should PROTECT next after human life (not what you should use to select a data center site!). SO we have a tough call between A & B; but you can recover operations and buy new property – you can’t undo a data breach.
A is correct
Question is specifically asking about elements to protect at a data center site. Clearly that would be personnel safety (life), company data and equipment.
Besides LIFE, after that protecting the business and or data. I'm going with the answer that has data. Without data no bizz.
Data is an asset and assets are already covered under D
If you look in the Shon Harris Study Guide 9th Edition Chapter 5 assets, The introduction she writes "Next to people data is the most important asset a organization has to protect."
Agree with C.
reputation?
Resources covers (Data and hardware) and reputation keeps you in business for the long run
A is correct. "Data"
I am going with D. Profits and Assets. next important thing to a business after human life is profits. because that's the whole reason for running a business. Assets covers rest of the things i.e.: Data, Hardware, reputation, market share etc.
my bad. didn't see the "Data Centre"
Assets encompass data, hardware and everything that keeps business; even human is an asset , if we can exclude human then the question is focusing on next single thing.. Data and hardware should be correct
Assets, Data is an asset . D includes A
Apart from life what it is most important to PROTECT is data
A. Data and hardware "Next to people data is the most important asset a organization has to protect." ..............Shon Harris Study Guide 9th Edition Chapter 5.
"Next to people data is the most important asset a organization has to protect." Shon Harris Study Guide 9th Edition Chapter 5.
CISSP Official Study Guide - 'A core element is selecting or designing the facility to house your IT infrastructure and your organization's operations.'
The data is right but the second part is not right. Reputation covers data as well. The correct answer is C.
Changed to B. According to the BCP: 1. People, 2. Facility 3. Infrastructure It says "Protection" in the beginning. You can't protect Profits (D), you can't protect Resources (C). You can protect Data and Hardware (A), but the most important is property and operations. The answer is B.
Data, resources, reputation, hardware, and property all fall under assets.
