How many people does NIST say should hold the authority to activate the contingency plan?

  1. Any member of senior management on call
  2. One, with a successor clearly designated to take it up if needed
  3. Two, so that any activation of the plan requires the concurrence of both of them
  4. One for each recovery team, each covering the scope of its own team's work
Show the answer

Answer: B. One, with a successor clearly designated to take it up if needed

SP 800-34r1 states only one individual should have the authority to activate the contingency plan, and a successor should be clearly designated in case that person is unavailable.
