Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 108 discussion

BCP is to empower an organization to keep crucial functions running during downtime. This, in turn, helps the organization respond quickly to an interruption, while creating resilient operational protocols.

Answer - The business continuity plan A business continuity is a plan that ensures a company can maintain core operations without interrupts especially in a event of a crisis. =========================== Retention Policy - determines how long business a record/resource is stored and how to dispose of the record when it is time to do so. Disaster Recovery - A set of instructions created by an organization on how to respond and recover from unplanned incidents. Generally involving a hardware failure, destruction, etc. Incident Response - a set of steps a incident response team follows to properly prepare and respond to incidents.

A. The Business Continuity Plan

A. The business continuity plan

When an IT company must vacate its main office and move to alternate, off-site locations due to unexpected circumstances, it would most likely reference the business continuity plan. The business continuity plan outlines the procedures and strategies that an organization will use to ensure that essential business functions can continue during and after a disaster or other disruptive event. It includes measures to protect personnel, assets, and business processes to ensure the organization's continuity. On the other hand, the disaster recovery plan is focused on restoring critical systems and services after a significant disruption, and it deals with the technical aspects of recovery. While both plans are related to managing disruptive events, the business continuity plan takes a broader approach, encompassing business processes and personnel, while the disaster recovery plan primarily focuses on IT systems and data recovery.

During the unexpected circumstance of vacating the main office and moving operations to alternate, off-site locations, the IT company would most likely reference the business continuity plan. The business continuity plan outlines strategies and procedures to ensure the continued operation of critical business functions during and after disruptive events. It includes measures to maintain essential operations, recover critical systems, and resume normal business activities in the face of unexpected events that could disrupt normal business operations.

I say C because the given info implies something big and severe, aka a disaster, happened that you have to move all of your operations to an off site. So you would consult your disaster recovery plan during such incidents.

The IT company will most likely reference the business continuity plan for guidance during the change. The business continuity plan is designed to help an organization continue operations in the event of a disruption or disaster, and is intended to minimize the impact on the business. The plan typically includes procedures and processes for identifying critical business functions, establishing alternate locations, and outlining how operations will continue during the disruption.

The word, unexpected circumstances is the key. I think the answer is C. I have checked other questions and it says disaster recovery plan is the answer.

It is C. The business continuity plan goes over what you can do in the event you can't access your normal resources, or if things aren't working. For example if your payment portal is down, you would have something saying you take payments by phone. In this question they have all of their resources, just working at a different site. Professor Messer's videos on this explain it really well as well.

A. Business Continuity Plans focus on keeping an organization functional when misfortune or incidents occur. The reason for the vacating of the office isn't specified, so there is no way, based on the information provided, that a disaster ( natural or man-made has occurred)

ChatGPT says it's C

A seems like the correct answer

This should normally be BIA, but BIA is part of BCP, so BCP.

See CompTIA Security + study guide page 518 Disaster Recovery plan -- A disaster can be seen as a special class of incident where the organizations primary business function is disrupted. Disaster recovery requires considerable resources, sush as SHIFTING PROCESSING TO A SECONDARY SITE. Disaster recovery will involve a wider range of stakeholders than a less serious incidents. Business Continuity Plan (BCB) -- this identifies how business processes should deal with both minor and disaster-level disruption. During an incident, a system may need to be isolated. Continuity planing ensures that there is processing redundancy supporting the workflow so that when a server is taken offline for security remediation, processing can failover to a separate system. If systems do not have this sort of planned resilience, incident response will be much more disruptive.

Remember that BCP is all-encompassing, including natural disaster recovery. Since the question did not specify this is a disaster, then BCP is the only option left that can be correct.

A.BCP no indication of a natural disaster.
