ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
A financial-services firm runs its transaction-processing system in a hurricane-prone coastal data center. The business impact analysis mandates recovery within 60 minutes and permits no more than five minutes of data loss. Management funds an alternate processing solution that must fail over quickly with little manual work. Which standby site type best satisfies these recovery time and recovery point objectives?
Cold site providing powered rack space and network connectivity only
Hot site with real-time data replication and fully pre-configured hardware
Reciprocal agreement to share unused capacity in a partner's data center
Warm site with weekly data synchronization and on-demand server provisioning
With a 60-minute recovery time objective and a five-minute recovery point objective, the firm needs a facility that already has compatible hardware, current software, and continuously replicated data, enabling almost immediate cut-over. A hot site meets these criteria. Warm sites often take hours to populate with data, cold sites require days to become operational, and reciprocal agreements rarely guarantee real-time data currency or rapid activation, so none of those options can meet the stated objectives.
