CISA Certified Information Systems Auditor – Question1754

Management considered two projections for its business continuity plan; plan A with two months to recover and plan B with eight months to recover. The recovery objectives are the same in both plans. It is reasonable to expect that plan B projected higher:

A. downtime costs.
B. resumption costs.
C. recovery costs.
D. walkthrough costs.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

Explanation:
Since the recovery time is longer in plan B, resumption and recovery costs can be expected to be lower. Walkthrough costs are not a part of disaster recovery. Since the management considered a higher window for recovery in plan B, downtime costs included in the plan are likely to be higher.
