Which of the following storage options would give the organization the best chance of recovering data?
A.
Encrypted physical copies of the data and their encryption keys are stored together at the organization and are readily available upon request
B.
Encrypted physical copies of the data are stored separately from their encryption keys: and both are held in secure locations a few hours away from the organization
C.
Encrypted reports on usage and database structure changes are stored on a cloud-based secured database that is readily accessible
D.
Encrypted copies of the data are stored in a separate secure location a few hours away while the encryption keys are stored at the organization and are readily available
B, the encrypted physical copies of the data and the encryption keys are stored separately, which provides an added layer of security in case one is compromised or destroyed. This separation reduces the risk associated with a single point of failure. The keys and data being stored in different locations, each secure and a few hours away, adds an extra safeguard in case of a disaster. Thus, both options B and D have their own merits, but keeping the keys and data separated as in B could be considered a safer practice for disaster recovery.
