Read the first 6 BCM Recovery Operations & Business Resumption flashcards as text

  1. What is the difference between a 'Business Continuity Plan' and a 'Disaster Recovery Plan'?

    Answer: A BCP focuses on maintaining critical business operations during disruption; a DRP focuses specifically on restoring IT systems and data

    A BCP addresses the continuity of critical business functions during a disruption, while a DRP specifically addresses the technical recovery of IT systems, infrastructure, and data.

  2. What is 'maximum tolerable downtime' (MTD) or 'maximum tolerable period of disruption' (MTPD)?

    Answer: The longest period a business function can be disrupted before causing irreversible harm to the organization

    MTD/MTPD is the maximum duration a business function can be disrupted before the organization suffers consequences so severe they may threaten its survival.

  3. What is the role of a 'recovery coordinator' during business resumption operations?

    Answer: Directing and coordinating recovery activities across teams to ensure the BCP is executed effectively

    A recovery coordinator directs, coordinates, and monitors recovery activities across multiple teams to ensure the BCP is executed in a timely and organized manner.

  4. What is a 'vital records program' in BCM?

    Answer: A systematic approach to identifying, protecting, and ensuring access to records essential for business resumption and legal compliance

    A vital records program identifies and protects records essential for resuming critical functions and meeting legal, regulatory, and financial obligations after a disruption.

  5. Which recovery strategy involves moving workloads to a cloud environment during a disruption?

    Answer: Cloud-based recovery (DRaaS)

    Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) leverages cloud infrastructure to provide scalable, on-demand recovery capacity when primary systems are disrupted.

  6. In BCM, what is a 'mutual aid agreement'?

    Answer: A formal arrangement between two or more organizations to provide resources or assistance to each other during a disruption

    A mutual aid agreement is a formal arrangement where two or more organizations agree to support each other with resources, facilities, or personnel during a disruption.
