CISA Certified Information Systems Auditor – Question1694

Which of the following is the MOST reasonable option for recovering a noncritical system?

A.
Warm site
B. Mobile site
C. Hot site
D. Cold site

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation:
Generally, a cold site is contracted for a longer period at a lower cost. Since it requires more time to make a cold site operational, it is generally used for noncritical applications. A warm site is generally available at a medium cost, requires less time to become operational and is suitable for sensitive operations. A mobile site is a vehicle ready with all necessary computer equipment that can be moved to any cold or warm site depending upon the need. The need for a mobile site depends upon the scale of operations. A hot site is contracted for a shorter time period at a higher cost and is better suited for recovery of vital and critical applications.
