Question 1

Which element of a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) specifically addresses how and where data backups are stored to protect digital assets?

Accepted Answer

Offsite data backup and replication strategy

Answer

An offsite data backup and replication strategy ensures that critical digital assets are preserved at a geographically separate location so they can be restored after a disaster.

Question 2

In disaster recovery, Recovery Point Objective (RPO) refers to:

Accepted Answer

The maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time

Answer

RPO defines the point in time to which data must be recovered, determining how frequently backups must occur to avoid unacceptable data — and asset — loss.

Question 3

Which of the following best describes a tabletop exercise in business continuity planning?

Accepted Answer

A discussion-based session where team members walk through a simulated emergency scenario

Answer

A tabletop exercise is a low-cost, discussion-based simulation that helps identify gaps in continuity plans without interrupting real operations.

Question 4

For asset protection purposes, which factor is most critical when selecting an offsite backup storage location for a business?

Accepted Answer

Geographic distance from the primary site to avoid the same regional disaster

Answer

Offsite backups must be far enough from the primary location to avoid being affected by the same natural disaster, flood, or power outage, ensuring data assets can be recovered.

Question 5

Which of the following is the correct order of steps in a typical Disaster Recovery Plan activation?

Accepted Answer

Assess damage → Activate DRP → Notify stakeholders → Restore operations → Debrief

Answer

The standard DRP sequence begins with damage assessment to determine the scope of impact before activating recovery procedures and communicating with stakeholders.
