CISM study material · question 903 of 1000

Which two considerations govern where a fixed alternate site is located, per NIST? Choose two.

  1. It must be within the same network latency budget as the primary site is now
  2. Its distance must account for moving personnel and equipment there
  3. It should sit in an area unlikely to be affected by the same hazard as the primary site
  4. It must be in the same legal jurisdiction as the primary site, so that exactly the same obligations apply
Show the answer

Answer: C. It should sit in an area unlikely to be affected by the same hazard as the primary site
B. Its distance must account for moving personnel and equipment there

SP 800-34r1 states the fixed-site location should be easily accessible and in an area unlikely to be affected by the same disaster as the primary site, and that the distance must be weighed against the need to move personnel and equipment.
