1. Right Answer: A
Explanation: Due to the additional cost of disaster recovery planning (DRP) measures, the cost of normal operations for any organization will always increase after a DRP implementation, i.e., the cost of normal operations during a nondisaster period will be more than the cost of operations during a nondisaster period when no disaster recovery plan was in place.
2. Right Answer: B
Explanation: The first step in any disaster recovery plan is to perform a business impact analysis. All other tasks come afterwards.
3. Right Answer: D
Explanation: Plans are important, but mere plans do not provide reasonable assurance unless tested. References for the alternate site provider and the existence and maintenance of a disaster recovery plan are important, but only tests and drills demonstrate the adequacy of the plans and provide reasonable assurance of an organization's disaster recovery readiness.
4. Right Answer: D
Explanation: A business impact analysis will give the impact of the loss of each application. Interviews with the application programmers will provide limited information related to the criticality of the systems. A gap analysis is only relevant to systems development and project management. The audits may not contain the required information or may not have been done recently.
5. Right Answer: A
Explanation: Disaster tolerance is the time gap during which the business can accept nonavailability of IT facilities. If this time gap is low, recovery strategies that can be implemented within a short period of time, such as a hot site, should be used. The RPO is the earliest point in time at which it is acceptable to recover the data. A high RPO means that the process can wait for a longer time. In such cases, other recovery alternatives, such as warm or cold sites, should be considered. A highRTO means that additional time would be available for the recovery strategy, thus making other recovery alternatives-such as warm or cold sites- viable alternatives.
