CISSP Exam Questions 

Question:  144 

To get proper management support and approval of the plan, a business case must be made. Which of the following is least important to this business case? 
A. Regulatory and legal requirements 
B. Company vulnerabilities to disasters and disruptions 
C. How other companies are dealing with these issues 
D. The impact the company can endure if a disaster hits 

C. The other three answers are key components when building a business case. Although it is a good idea to investigate and learn about how other companies are dealing with similar issues, it is the least important of the four items listed. 

------------------------------------ 

Question:  145 

Which of the following describes a parallel test? 
A. It is performed to ensure that operations performed at the alternate site also give the same results as at the primary site. 
B. All departments receive a copy of the disaster recovery plan and walk through it. 
C. Representatives from each department come together and go through the test collectively. 
D. Normal operations are shut down. 

A. In a parallel test, some systems are run at the alternate site, and the results are compared with how processing takes place at the primary site. This is to ensure that the systems work in that area and productivity is not affected. This also extends the previous test and allows the team to walk through the steps of setting up and configuring systems at the offsite facility. 

------------------------------------ 

Question:  146 

Which of the following describes a structured walk-through test? 
A. It is performed to ensure that critical systems will run at the alternate site. 
B. All departments receive a copy of the disaster recovery plan and walk through it. 
C. Representatives from each department come together and review the steps of the test collectively without actually performing those steps. 
D. Normal operations are shut down. 

C. During a structured walk-through test, functional representatives review the plan to ensure its accuracy and that it correctly and accurately reflects the company’s recovery strategy. 

Question:  147 

When is the emergency actually over for a company? 
A. When all people are safe and accounted for 
B. When all operations and people are moved back into the 
primary site 
C. When operations are safely moved to the offsite facility 
D. When a civil official declares that all is safe 

B. The emergency is not actually over until the company moves back into its primary site. The company is still vulnerable and at risk while it is operating in an altered or crippled state. This state of vulnerability is not over until the company is operating in the way it was prior to the disaster. Of course, this may mean that the primary site has to be totally rebuilt if it was destroyed
