A logistics company has developed a business continuity plan that includes failover to a secondary data center. The plan has never been tested. The IT manager wants to conduct a test that will validate the plan without disrupting live operations. Which testing method should the IT manager choose?

Parallel test, where the secondary site processes live data while the primary site continues

Full interruption test, where the primary site is shut down and operations are moved to the secondary site

Simulation test, where a simulated disaster is presented and the team responds

Tabletop exercise, where team members walk through the plan step by step

A business continuity analyst is documenting the maximum amount of time a critical database can be unavailable before the organization experiences unacceptable losses. Which term describes this metric?

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

A financial services company is updating its risk register. The risk management team has identified a new risk: a critical database administrator is the only employee who knows the master encryption key for the customer database. The team needs to evaluate this risk and decide on a response. What should the team do FIRST?

Document the risk and assess its likelihood and impact on business operations

Immediately train a second employee to become a backup administrator

Purchase a hardware security module to store the key

Accept the risk because the administrator has been with the company for 10 years

Which of the following is an example of a risk mitigation strategy?

Purchasing insurance to cover potential losses

Implementing database replication to a secondary site

Conducting a post-incident review

Documenting the risk in a register without taking action
