CISM study material · question 965 of 1000

Which documentation format does NIST recommend for recovery procedures, and why?

  1. A checklist, so that steps can be followed and troubleshooting is possible under pressure
  2. A decision tree, so that the judgement calls the responders have to make are all properly structured
  3. A swimlane diagram, so that team boundaries are clear
  4. A narrative, so that context is preserved for new staff
Show the answer

Answer: A. A checklist, so that steps can be followed and troubleshooting is possible under pressure

SP 800-34r1 asks that procedures not assume or omit any step, and recommends procedures be written in a straightforward step-by-step style, with a checklist format allowing users to check off steps and troubleshoot problems quickly.
