Selected Answer: D
D. An incident response plan is the most effective in reducing the financial impact following a security breach leading to data disclosure. An incident response plan outlines the steps to be taken in the event of a security incident, including the roles and responsibilities of different teams, procedures for containing and mitigating the incident, and procedures for communicating with stakeholders. This allows for a quick and organized response to a security incident, which can help minimize the damage and reduce the financial impact of the incident.

not D, Option D (Incident Response Plan) outlines the organization's response to a security incident, including data breaches. While incident response is crucial for timely and effective mitigation, it primarily focuses on the response process rather than direct financial impact reduction.

Selected Answer: B
Why not B? The question implies that breach already happened and caused data being leaked/disclosed. It's too late for incident response and DLP. BCP should contain steps in regards on what to do in the situations like this.

Actually, after reading further in CISM 2ed. by Peter Gregory, it seems that incident response plan is indeed more correct since on page 407 of his book there's a small table discussing event types and typical responses.

Selected Answer: A
A backup and recovery strategy is essential for mitigating the financial impact of a security breach leading to data disclosure. The strategy involves regular backups of critical data and systems, which can be used to restore the affected information in the event of a breach or data loss incident.

Surely this should be implement DLP as this would be effective in reducing the financial impact following a security breach leading to data disclosure.... if there is no data loss then there is no financial loss..
