Just like the risk management process, the BCDR planning process has a defined sequence of steps and processes to follow to ensure the production of a comprehensive and successful plan.
Which of the following is the correct sequence of steps for a BCDR plan?
The correct sequence for a BCDR plan is to gather requirements, define the scope, assess risk, and then implement the plan. Gathering requirements first ensures that all necessary information is collected before defining the scope. Once the scope is defined, assessing the associated risks can help in planning the implementation effectively.
A. Define scope, gather requirements, assess risk, implement
The correct sequence is: Define Scope → Identify the systems, processes, and services that need to be covered in the BCDR plan. Gather Requirements → Collect business, technical, and compliance requirements for continuity and recovery. Assess Risk → Identify potential threats, vulnerabilities, and impact on business operations. Implement → Develop, test, and deploy the BCDR strategies based on the gathered data and risk assessment.
