Read the first 7 Technology Recovery Procedures flashcards as text

  1. An organization's RTO is 4 hours, but actual recovery tests consistently take 7 hours. What is the MOST appropriate corrective action?

    Answer: Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the recovery procedure to meet the 4-hour target

    When test results exceed the RTO, the organization must analyze the recovery procedure to find and fix bottlenecks so the target can actually be met.

  2. Which of the following BEST describes a 'split-brain' scenario in a clustered technology recovery environment?

    Answer: Two cluster nodes each believe they are the primary and simultaneously accept writes, causing data divergence

    Split-brain occurs when network isolation causes both cluster nodes to independently assume primary status, leading to conflicting data updates.

  3. What is the purpose of defining 'recovery tiers' for IT systems in a Technology Recovery Plan?

    Answer: To prioritize systems for recovery based on their criticality to business operations

    Recovery tiers assign priority levels to IT systems so recovery teams restore the most business-critical systems first during a disaster.

  4. A CRP is evaluating whether to use a managed recovery services provider. Which factor is MOST critical to verify in the provider's contract?

    Answer: Guaranteed resource availability and response time commitments during a declared disaster

    Recovery service contracts must guarantee dedicated resource availability and response times, as multiple clients may declare disasters simultaneously.

  5. In the context of technology recovery, what is 'data sovereignty' and why does it matter?

    Answer: Legal requirements that data must be stored and processed within specific geographic jurisdictions

    Data sovereignty laws restrict where data can be stored or processed, which limits which geographic regions can host disaster recovery sites.

  6. During a technology recovery, the team successfully restores the database server but the application tier cannot connect to it. What type of documentation would BEST help resolve this quickly?

    Answer: Application-to-database dependency and configuration documentation

    Application-to-database dependency documentation specifies connection strings, ports, and credentials needed for the application tier to reach the restored database.

  7. Which NIST Special Publication provides foundational guidance on contingency planning for federal information systems and is widely referenced in technology recovery practice?

    Answer: NIST SP 800-34

    NIST SP 800-34 (Contingency Planning Guide for Federal Information Systems) provides structured guidance on IT contingency planning including recovery strategies.
