Which of the following would have the HIGHEST priority in a business continuity plan (BCP)?
A.
Resuming critical processes
B.
Recovering sensitive processes
C.
Restoring the site
D.
Relocating operations to an alternative site
Explanation:
The resumption of critical processes has the highest priority as it enables business processes to begin
immediately after the interruption and not later than the declared mean time between failure (MTBF). Recovery
of sensitive processes refers to recovering the vital and sensitive processes that can be performed manually at
a tolerable cost for an extended period of time and those that are not marked as high priority. Repairing andrestoring the site to original status and resuming the business operations are time consuming operations and
are not the highest priority. Relocating operations to an alternative site, either temporarily or permanently
depending on the interruption, is a time consuming process; moreover, relocation may not be required.
