Exam CISM topic 1 question 818 discussion

I go for B. If major business processes changes, it is an absolute MUST to reconfirm DRP. You just dont know what additional DRP requirements you need to consider due to changes of the business. If BCP and DRP are not aligned, response activities will be chaotic (e.g., duplication of efforts) - but somehow business continuity and disaster response may still be achieved.

business processes have been redesigned doesn't mean "implemented". DR shouldn't be tested as long as a new "design" comes up. so should be C.

Answer: B. You NEED to update the SR plan after major business process changes. On teh other hand, there are many instances where the BCP would be updated which would not affect the DR plan.

It's C. For B, Before to do a test, you need to review the plans first.

C. Question is MOST appropriate time to conduct DR test. That will not be appropriate during major business process has been redesigned because the BCP hasn't been updated. You need to have a BIA and BC Plan before you conduct your DR test

Changes to business processes would include updates to DRP/BCP if relevant. C has a greater weight.

B is more relevant to DRP

If major biz processes been redesigned than the DR definitions may not apply and need to be tested

C. the business continuity plan (BCP) has been updated. Conducting a disaster recovery test after the business continuity plan (BCP) has been updated ensures that the plan is tested with the most current information and procedures in place. Regularly updating and testing the BCP is a crucial part of ensuring an organization's preparedness for disasters and continuity of operations.

Why should it be C? An incident and a disaster are two different things. There's no telling if an update to the BCP warrants changes to disaster response

The most appropriate time to conduct a disaster recovery test would be after the business continuity plan (BCP) has been updated.

C. the business continuity plan (BCP) has been updated.

Should be B
