   A regional bank is conducting a business impact analysis. The core banking system can tolerate at most 30 minutes of downtime before customer transactions begin to fail, and the bank can accept losing at most 5 minutes of transaction data. The bank's current backup solution captures data every 15 minutes and can restore the system in 45 minutes. What is the most immediate gap identified by the BIA?

   • AThe BIA should be redone because the RTO and RPO values are unrealistic for a core banking system.
   • BThe RPO is 5 minutes, but the backup interval is 15 minutes, so more frequent backups are needed.
   • CThe bank should immediately switch to a hot-site failover to eliminate all downtime and data loss.
   • DThe RTO is 30 minutes, but the restore time is 45 minutes, so the recovery strategy must be improved.

   A manufacturing company has a business continuity plan that includes a manual workaround for its order entry system. The workaround allows the company to continue taking orders on paper during a system outage. The company also has a disaster recovery plan that details how to restore the order entry system from backups. During an outage, the company uses the manual workaround for two days while the IT team restores the system. Which statement best describes the relationship between the BCP and DRP in this scenario?

   • AThe BCP kept the business function running, while the DRP restored the underlying system.
   • BThe BCP and DRP are the same plan because they both address the same outage.
   • CThe DRP was unnecessary because the BCP worked.
   • DThe manual workaround is part of the DRP, not the BCP.
