ISC2 CC Business Continuity, DR & Incident Response Practice Question
Which document outlines the procedures for maintaining critical business functions during a disruption?
⚠ Common exam trap
ISC2 often tests the distinction between BCP and DRP, where candidates mistakenly choose Disaster Recovery Plan because they focus only on IT recovery, forgetting that BCP covers the broader business continuity including non-IT functions like manual order processing or alternate facilities.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Business Continuity Plan
The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is the correct answer because it specifically outlines the procedures and strategies to maintain critical business functions during a disruption. Unlike other plans that focus on IT recovery or incident response, the BCP ensures that essential business operations continue, often by leveraging alternate work sites, manual workarounds, or scaled-down processes, until normal operations can be restored.
