Exam CRISC topic 1 question 738 discussion

The goal of disaster recovery testing is to validate the organization’s overall ability to recover from a disaster and ensure that all critical operations, not just data, are restored within acceptable timeframes

D. The organization gains assurance it can recover from a disaster. From a business perspective, the primary objective of disaster recovery testing is to provide assurance that the organization can recover its operations after a disruptive event. This assurance helps stakeholders have confidence in the organization's resilience and continuity plans. Here's a brief breakdown of the other options: A. All business-critical systems are successfully tested: While it's important to test business-critical systems, merely testing them doesn't ensure that they can be restored to an operational state after a disaster. B. Errors are discovered in the disaster recovery process: Identifying errors is indeed a valuable outcome of testing, but it's not the primary objective from a business standpoint. C. All critical data is recovered within recovery time objectives (RTOs): Meeting the RTO is important, but it's a technical metric. The broader business objective is to ensure overall recovery and continuity.

D. The organization gains assurance it can recover from a disaster. This is the MOST important objective from a business perspective. While the other options are integral components of the disaster recovery process, the overarching goal is to ensure business continuity and instill confidence in the organization's resilience in the face of disasters.

D. The organization gains assurance it can recover from a disaster. The primary objective of a disaster recovery test, from a business perspective, is to ensure that the organization can effectively recover from a disaster or disruptive event. While other objectives, such as testing specific systems, identifying errors, and meeting recovery time objectives (RTOs), are important, the overarching goal is to provide the organization with the confidence and assurance that it can successfully recover its critical systems and data in the event of a disaster.

C has in it Critical Data. The DRP is for systems and not data. Also the question states from business perspectives. I opt D.

Agree.

C incorrect. All business-critical systems, not only critical data. So D is correct answer.

I will go with A, as critical data restoration is not good enough if the related application is not recovered. Business critical system restored successfully indicates that the RTO is also fulfilled.

D is tempting (this is definitely one of the goals for a DRP test), but C is also correct and is more specific. Support C.

Why you have a test of CRISC? To test the knowledge of Risk management who can be fulfill. Not testing for how you mis-understand the risk management. In the same theory. Its C.

I will go with C , aim of testing is to recover under RTO , not to find issues.

It's B - https://www.datto.com/blog/the-importance-of-disaster-recovery-testing#:~:text=The%20purpose%20of%20IT%20disaster,your%20ability%20to%20restore%20operations.&text=Regular%20testing%20is%20the%20only,operations%20quickly%20following%20an%20outage.

The purpose of IT disaster recovery testing is to discover flaws in your disaster recovery plan so you can resolve them before they impact your ability to restore operations.

B is the correct answer The Question is disaster recovery test and not disaster recovery program. So answer is B . the errors are to be discovered so that it can be mitigated
