Read the first 7 Strategy and Plan Development flashcards as text

  1. Which BCP document specifically addresses the sequence in which critical business functions should be restored after a disruption?

    Answer: Recovery prioritization matrix

    A recovery prioritization matrix ranks functions by criticality and required restoration sequence based on BIA findings.

  2. A Minimum Business Continuity Objective (MBCO) defines:

    Answer: The minimum level of services needed during disruption to satisfy stakeholders

    MBCO specifies the minimum service or product output level an organization must maintain during a disruption to meet stakeholder expectations.

  3. When developing a supply chain continuity strategy, which approach BEST reduces single-supplier dependency?

    Answer: Pre-qualifying multiple alternative suppliers

    Pre-qualifying alternative suppliers ensures the organization can quickly switch sources when a primary supplier is disrupted.

  4. In a BCM context, what does a 'reciprocal agreement' between two organizations involve?

    Answer: Each organization agreeing to host the other in the event of a disaster

    A reciprocal agreement means two organizations commit to providing each other with recovery space and resources if either suffers a major disruption.

  5. Which metric captures how much data loss (measured in time) an organization can tolerate after a disruption?

    Answer: RPO

    Recovery Point Objective (RPO) defines the maximum acceptable age of data that must be recovered from backup, determining allowable data loss.

  6. A business continuity strategy is considered 'viable' when it:

    Answer: Can restore operations within the RTO at an acceptable cost

    A viable strategy must achieve recovery within the required timeframe (RTO) and be economically feasible for the organization.

  7. A BCP for a manual workaround procedure should include which of the following FIRST?

    Answer: Trigger conditions that activate the workaround

    Clearly defined trigger conditions ensure staff know exactly when to switch from normal operations to the manual workaround, preventing delayed activation.
