Question

Options

• AIs damaged media stored and/or destroyed?
• BAre the backup storage site and alternate site geographically far enough from the primary
• CIs there an up-to-date copy of the plan stored securely off-site?

• A
  81% (26)
• B
  6% (2)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  9% (3)

Explanation

Questions B, C, and D directly assess the effectiveness and readiness of contingency planning - geographic separation of the alternate site, off-site plan storage, and backup location identification are all core elements of BCP/DRP assessments. Whether damaged media is stored or destroyed (A) is primarily a media sanitization and data disposal concern, falling under asset management or data lifecycle policies rather than contingency planning controls. It is the least relevant to evaluating an organization's ability to continue operations after a disruption.
