ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

A financial-technology startup runs its transaction processing system on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer in the us-east-1 Region. Management asks you to design a cross-Region disaster-recovery solution that meets an RTO of 2 hours and an RPO of 15 minutes while keeping standby infrastructure costs as low as possible and requiring only minimal manual effort during failover. Which strategy best satisfies these requirements?

  • Deploy an active-active multi-Region setup: keep full production capacity online in both Regions and use Route 53 latency-based routing for traffic distribution.

  • Maintain a warm-standby environment: run the entire application stack at reduced capacity in a secondary Region with continuous data replication.

  • Use a backup-and-restore model: perform nightly backups to Amazon S3 and rebuild the environment on demand in another Region when needed.

  • Implement a pilot-light architecture: replicate databases to a minimal EC2 footprint in a secondary Region and use infrastructure-as-code to scale up additional services during a declared disaster.
