CISM study material · question 944 of 1000

Where does NIST say a copy of the contingency plan should be kept, and why?

  1. At the alternate site and with the backup media, so the plan survives a disaster destroying the local copies
  2. In a sealed envelope held by the legal department, so that its distribution is properly controlled at all times thereafter
  3. In the configuration management repository, so that its version is the authoritative one held anywhere in the whole estate
  4. With each recovery team member, so it is always to hand

Answer: A. At the alternate site and with the backup media, so the plan survives a disaster destroying the local copies

SP 800-34r1 recommends a copy of the plan be stored at the alternate site and with the backup media, so the document is available if a disaster destroys the copies held locally.
