Exam CISM topic 1 question 1132 discussion

Why on earth people choose BCP? The purpose of a BCP is to keep the business running in a disaster. The main focus point of a BCP is NOT the recovery of the business, but the maintenance of critical business services. Instead, the DRP intends to recover the business services to a normal state. Why else there is RECOVERY in DRP? You could argue for option A - BIA, since a BIA is the pre-requisite for DRP and for BCP's (e.g., you determine main recovery targets like RTO, RPO etc.). But the question clearly asks about the recovery of the business, hence I go for option C.

BIA is a preparatory step that identifies which business processes are essential, their dependencies and the potential impact of a disruption to those processes. The BIA itself does not include strategies or actions for recovery. In contrast, a BCP uses the insights gained from a BIA to develop plans to ensure the business can continue operating during and recover after a disaster. In this scenario, a BCP would have been most helpful.

BIA is part of designing BCP.
