A mid-sized e-commerce company has completed its BIA and identified that its order-processing system has a recovery time objective (RTO) of 4 hours and a recovery point objective (RPO) of 15 minutes. The system runs on a single on-premises server with nightly backups. The company is evaluating recovery strategies. Which strategy best meets the stated RTO and RPO?

Implement a hot standby server at a secondary site with synchronous data replication.

Use the nightly backups to restore the server at the primary site.

Move the system to a cloud instance with daily snapshots.

Accept the current backup strategy and document the risk.

A company has a BCP that is reviewed annually. In the past year, the company has moved its data center to a colocation facility, changed its ERP vendor, and outsourced its help desk. The BCP manager is planning the annual maintenance cycle. The company's leadership wants to ensure the BCP remains effective without spending excessive time on updates. What is the most efficient approach to maintain the BCP?

Update only the contact information and vendor lists, since those are the most obvious changes.

Conduct a focused review of the BCP sections affected by the data center move, ERP change, and help desk outsourcing, and update those sections.

Perform a full BCP rewrite to incorporate all changes from the past year.

Wait for the next scheduled exercise to identify any gaps before updating the plan.

A university's BCP team is documenting the plan for its student information system. The plan must be understandable to both technical staff and non-technical administrators. The team is deciding how to structure the document. Which approach best balances clarity and completeness?

Write a single detailed document with all technical steps and assume readers will find what they need

Use technical jargon throughout to ensure precision

Create an executive summary for non-technical readers and a separate technical appendix for IT staff

Keep the plan brief with only high-level steps and no technical details

A manufacturing company is conducting a BIA for its production scheduling system. The BIA team has collected data showing that a 1-hour outage would cost $50,000 in lost production, and a 1-day outage would cost $500,000.

Ask the IT department for the maximum time they can restore the system

Identify the point at which the outage cost exceeds the cost of recovery

Use the RTO from the previous BIA

Which of the following is an example of a recovery strategy for a critical business function?

Establishing an alternate work site for employees
