Exam CISA topic 1 question 679 discussion

option C is not valid if it is a hot site. the biggest concern has to be insufficient environmental controls. option A is the answer.

D. Conflicts due to reciprocal agreements with other organizations Reciprocal agreements, where organizations agree to share each other's resources in the event of a disaster, can lead to conflicts if multiple organizations need to use the hot site simultaneously. This could result in resource contention and affect the effectiveness of the disaster recovery strategy. While insufficient environmental controls, significant distance from the primary data center, and lack of networking infrastructure are also important considerations, they are typically addressed as part of the hot site's setup and operation. Conflicts due to reciprocal agreements present a unique challenge that can complicate the use of the hot site during an actual disaster.

I will change my answer to A: While lack of network infrastructure is also a major concern, the most fundamental and important aspect of a disaster recovery strategy is that the hot site ensures proper environmental management. If the recovered system cannot operate safely in a sufficient environment, the presence or absence of network infrastructure is meaningless. Therefore, the main concern when using a hot site in an organization's disaster recovery strategy is "inadequate environmental management."

No network is a bigger concern from slow network. I choose C

I withdraw my earlier answer B, it should be A

A significant distance between the primary data center and the hot site can introduce latency issues, data transfer delays, and potentially higher costs associated with network connectivity. This distance can also increase the risk of disruptions to network connectivity, making it more challenging to maintain real-time data synchronization between the primary and hot sites.

C - a hot site must be ready to kick off in the event of a disaster. Therefore, lact of networking equipment in a hot site is an obvious red flag

DR side significant distance from the primary data center is a concern when utilizing a hot site for disaster recovery. Answer should be B

D. Conflicts due to reciprocal agreements with other organizations

Why not D?

B. Significant distance from the primary data center

While significant distance from the primary data center (option B) may introduce latency or other network performance issues, it is not the primary concern when discussing a hot site. The lack of networking infrastructure (option C) can be a concern, but it is typically part of the planning and implementation process when setting up a hot site. Conflicts due to reciprocal agreements with other organizations (option D) may impact the availability or priority of the hot site, but it is not a concern that directly relates to the functionality or environmental controls of the hot site itself. Therefore, the primary concern when utilizing a hot site for disaster recovery is the potential for insufficient environmental controls at the facility. Answer is A

b is answer

D. Conflicts due to reciprocal agreements with other organizations
