CERTIFIED-IN-CYBERSECURITY Question #503: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

What should be included in the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) team members list?

Options

• ANotification systems and call trees
• BMultiple contact methods and a list of backup members
• CContact numbers for critical members of the supply chain
• DImmediate response procedures and checklists

Explanation

In the team member list of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP), it is critical to have multiple methods of contact and a list of back- up members (see ISC2 Study Guide Chapter 2, Module 2) to allow for accessible communication and contingency planning in case the initially assigned members become incapacitated or unavailable during an incident. Contact numbers for key members of the supply chain, while critical in the broader scope of the BCP, do not belong in the list of team members. It is more appropriate in the resource continuity component of the plan. Notification systems and call trees are communication tools, not team members. They are used to reach team members and other stakeholders who are not part of the team. Similarly, immediate response procedures and checklists are part of the BCP and provide general steps for mitigating and responding to an incident. However, these procedures are not part of the list of team members, but rather guide the actions of the team.
