ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

In a simulation test, participants are presented with a realistic disaster scenario and must walk through every step of the recovery plan, making real-time decisions and demonstrating how they would obtain backups, contact third parties, and re-establish critical services. No actual production workloads are interrupted and systems are not brought down; the focus is on validating procedures and staff readiness through role-playing. A checklist review is only a document verification, a parallel test requires running live or copied workloads at an alternate site, and a full-interruption test deliberately shuts down production systems-both of which exceed the scope of a simulation test.
