An organization's IT change management process recently approved a migration of the email system to a new cloud provider. How should the BCP team ensure the contingency plan remains accurate?

Create a separate BCP for the email system only

Update the BCP immediately to reflect the new email system and its recovery procedures

Wait until the next annual test to update the plan

Ask the cloud provider to maintain the BCP

What is the primary goal of a survivability assessment?

To assign recovery priorities to all business processes

To determine the cost of recovering from a disaster

To test the contingency plan under full interruption conditions

To identify essential components and dependencies of critical business functions

Why is it important to integrate the contingency plan update process with organizational change management?

To ensure plans reflect current infrastructure, personnel, and procedures

To reduce the need for contingency plan testing

To make the contingency plan more complex

To comply with external regulations only

Which activity is most closely associated with a survivability assessment?

Mapping dependencies between critical applications and supporting infrastructure

Conducting a tabletop exercise of the recovery plan

Choosing a cloud provider for disaster recovery

Calculating the annualized loss expectancy for each asset

During a parallel test of the DRP, the team discovers that the failover script for the web servers contains a hard-coded IP address that is no longer valid. What is the most appropriate immediate action?

Ignore the error because the script is rarely used

Record the finding and update the script after the test

Change the RTO to allow more time for manual fixes

Stop the test and declare the DRP a failure
