Systems Security Certified Practitioner – SSCP – Question0591

Which of the following statements pertaining to the maintenance of an IT contingency plan is incorrect?

A. The plan should be reviewed at least once a year for accuracy and completeness.
B. The Contingency Planning Coordinator should make sure that every employee gets an up-to-date copy of the plan.
C. Strict version control should be maintained.
D. Copies of the plan should be provided to recovery personnel for storage offline at home and office.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Because the contingency plan contains potentially sensitive operational and personnel information, its distribution should be marked accordingly and controlled. Not all employees would obtain a copy, but only those involved in the execution of the plan. All other statements are correct.
NOTE FROM CLEMENT: I have received multiple emails stating the explanations contradict the correct answer. It seems many people have a hard time with negative question. In this case the Incorrect choice (the one that is not true) is the correct choice. Be very carefull of such questions, you will get some on the real exam as well.
