Exam SK0-005 topic 1 question 11 discussion

I too believe it should be the DRP...BIA is the planning stage that establishes the objectives that go into the DRP.

"business impact analysis (BIA) - Identifies the degree and scope of impact on a business when negative incidents occur. The BIA enables easier prioritization of assets that require protection from threats." - CompTia Server+ Certification Exam Guide, McGraw Hill 2nd ed. SK0-005. The book does not indicate that it should be consulted in the course of recovering from an incident, rather it stresses the importance of having it in place before an incident occurs. I vote for DRP.

B is correct. A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is a documented, structured approach that describes how an organization can quickly resume work after an unplanned incident. A DRP is an essential part of a business continuity plan (BCP). It is applied to the aspects of an organization that depend on a functioning information technology (IT) infrastructure. A DRP aims to help an organization resolve data loss and recover system functionality so that it can perform in the aftermath of an incident, even if it operates at a minimal level.

BCP The purpose of a BCP is to address how to maintain business obligations in the case of a large-scale disaster (natural or caused by humans). The focus is on the business as a whole, rather than on the areas for which IT is responsible. Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and Disaster Recovery Plans (DRPs) are subsets of the BCP. BIA A BIA is a component of your company’s overall BCP. The purpose of the BIA is to identify the potential consequences of an interruption to your business due to a disaster or other unplanned events. DRP The Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) specifies responsibilities, tools, procedures, and supporting policies for recovering IT services in the event of a disaster. While the BCP focuses on the business as a whole, the DRP focuses on IT services. The Official CompTIA Server+ Study Guide (Exam SK0-005) page 78-79.

Question says "trying to restore", meaning service has not been resumed yet, so the most urgent thing to do is restore the service - answer is B.

Quite obvbiusly B.

A DRP is a strategy to restore the ordinary business operations of an organization’s "IT" (Rather than the whole business) infrastructure following a disaster scenario. Business continuity planning is about maintaining operations "during" a disaster, while a cloud disaster recovery plan focuses on restoring IT infrastructure and systems "after" a severe disaster.

Everyone answering B are thinking about this wrong. The answer is C Lets use an example. The company has a datacenter. You have a major power outage that last for days. Much longer then UPS are designed to support. At that point of the power outage is when you would be looking at your DRP. DRPs should lay out different scenarios depending on the extent of the outage or disaster and what you should be doing DURING a disaster. The question is, what document would you refer to AFTER a unplanned outage. So the outage or disaster is over. At this point you need to look at what damage has the company suffered because of this outage. Hence why the answer is C.

I too select B. The reason is because it specifically indicates you need to restore "IT infrastructure operations". This would describe what a DRP is for. DRP's for each dept/services/assets (in this case, for infrastructure, things like DHCP, DNS) are created under the BIA and priority given for each.

A business continuity plan (BCP) is a document that consists of the critical information an organization needs to continue operating during an unplanned event. The BCP states the essential functions of the business, identifies which systems and processes must be sustained, and details how to maintain them.

A BRP will help you respond effectively if an incident or crisis affects your business. It aims to shorten your recovery time and minimize losses. Your recovery plan contains information relating to planning for recovery as well as the resumption of critical business activities after a crisis has occurred.

Seems like Disaster Recovery Plan makes the most sense. Other documents might be consulted or updated after.

C is correct because BIA evaluates the risks & recovery procedures when a disaster hits the company. This document might include a section dedicated to a recovery procedure if a change causes a problem

your right

BIA doesn't sound right to me, BIA is part of the BCP and BCP identifies critical systems and services, DRP is the execution of BCP, SLA - doesn't apply. Anyone else find this answer odd or can give more input on this? I'm leaning towards DRP, any input?
