Selected Answer: A
The GREATEST concern in this scenario is that the risk scenarios used in the DRP have not been tested in two years. Disaster recovery plans must be regularly tested to: Validate their effectiveness against current threats and operational realities. Identify gaps or weaknesses in procedures, tools, or response capabilities. Ensure that personnel are familiar with their roles and responsibilities. Failing to test risk scenarios regularly may lead to a false sense of preparedness, and the DRP may not work as intended during a real disaster.

In this context, if the DRP does not identify a hot site (Option C), it means there might not be a readily available alternative location to quickly resume operations, which could lead to extended downtime and operational disruption. So yes, the absence of a hot site remains a crucial concern for ensuring the plan’s effectiveness in a disaster scenario.

Not all organizations require a hot site — the type of recovery site depends on business needs and recovery time objectives (RTOs). This isn't automatically a critical gap.
