A city municipality lost its primary data center when a tornado hit the facility. Which of the following should the city staff use immediately after the disaster to handle essential public services?
Im going with C, because while a BCP is for helping to ensure that essential business operations continue after a disaster (such as this tornado), it is broader in scope. The DRP offers specific steps and processes to follow to recover critical IT infrastructure and systems, which is the more immediate concern "immediately after the disaster."
C. DRP
Disaster recovery (DR) plans define the processes and procedures
that an organization will take when a disaster occurs. Unlike a BC
plan, a DR plan focuses on natural and human-made disasters
that may destroy facilities or infrastructure, or otherwise prevent
an organization from functioning normally. A DR plan focuses on
restoration or continuation of services despite a disaster.
The correct answer is:
C. DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan)
Explanation:
A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is specifically designed to restore critical IT systems and infrastructure after a disaster, such as a tornado. It ensures that essential services can resume by outlining steps to recover data, applications, and systems, often leveraging backup data or alternate data centers.
Other Options:
A. BCP (Business Continuity Plan): Focuses on maintaining critical operations during and after a disruption but works in conjunction with the DRP. DRP is the immediate focus for IT recovery.
B. Communication plan: Helps ensure stakeholders are informed but doesn’t directly handle recovery of services.
D. IRP (Incident Response Plan): Deals with responding to cybersecurity incidents, such as breaches or malware, not natural disasters.
The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) would provide city staff with the necessary procedures to continue delivering essential public services during and after a disaster, ensuring that critical functions are maintained while the recovery efforts take place.
DRP is part of the BCP and DRP is specifically concerned with IT recovery, making it the immediate priority here due to Tornado disaster. Answer is DRP
i would say A,
Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP): Focuses on the restoration of IT systems and data following a disaster. It's all about getting the technology and data back online to support critical operations.
Business Continuity Plan (BCP): Encompasses a broader scope, ensuring that all aspects of the organization can continue to function during and after a disaster. This includes not only IT recovery but also personnel, facilities, and communication strategies to maintain essential public services.
DRP - While the other options might be relevant in certain contexts, they don't directly address the specific need for immediate action to restore essential public services after a disaster:
A. BCP
Not DRP because...
A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) focuses on restoring IT infrastructure and data after a disaster. In this case, the city needs to continue running public services immediately, not just restore IT functions. A DRP will be important later in the recovery phase, but the BCP addresses the immediate need for continuing essential operations.
