CISM study material · question 916 of 1000

Which risk does NIST attach to a replacement strategy that depends on shipment after a catastrophic disaster?

  1. Vendors may raise their prices well beyond whatever the contingency budget has allowed for them
  2. Transport may be limited or halted, so the strategy fails exactly when it is needed
  3. Customs clearance may invalidate the warranty
  4. The equipment may arrive without any of the configuration that the recovery work actually requires
Show the answer

Answer: B. Transport may be limited or halted, so the strategy fails exactly when it is needed

SP 800-34r1 warns that following a catastrophic disaster, a vendor's ability to ship may be limited or halted — so a shipment-dependent strategy may fail at the moment it is required.
