CISM study material · question 908 of 1000

Why does NIST want the alternate site agreement to state what constitutes a disaster and how notification occurs?

  1. So that the vendor can price the contract accurately
  2. So that the regulator can be notified within the window that it requires of the organisation
  3. So that declaring a disaster is not left to judgement in the moment
  4. So that the insurer can validate the claim
Show the answer

Answer: C. So that declaring a disaster is not left to judgement in the moment

SP 800-34r1 states the alternate site agreement should specify the circumstances constituting an emergency or disaster and the notification procedures, removing the ambiguity from an in-the-moment declaration.
