Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Annual validation of the BIA to ensure it reflects current business priorities.
Why this is correct
Business priorities shift; the BIA must be validated to keep DR efforts focused.
- ✗
Mandating the use of specific hardware vendors for all offices.
Why it's wrong here
Vendor selection is an IT procurement strategy, not a DRP oversight function.
- ✗
Standardization of server naming conventions across all data centers.
Why it's wrong here
This is good IT hygiene but not a core DRP oversight requirement.
- ✓
Conducting regular, risk-based testing of the recovery plans.
Why this is correct
Testing is the only way to prove that the plan works as documented.
- ✓
Periodic review and updating of the DRP based on infrastructure changes.
Why this is correct
Plans must be kept current with production changes to remain viable.
