ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
During a quarterly disaster-recovery drill, a cloud operations team wants to perform a full-interruption test of its AWS-hosted payroll application. Which activity must be executed to satisfy the definition of a full-interruption test, instead of a tabletop, simulation, or parallel exercise?
Conduct a conference-room walkthrough where stakeholders verbally review recovery procedures and responsibilities.
Launch recovery resources in the alternate region while allowing production to continue and compare outputs for consistency.
Shut down the primary region workloads and operate the application solely from the disaster-recovery environment for the duration of the test.
Inject synthetic failure events into monitoring dashboards to validate runbooks without changing the production environment.
A full-interruption test deliberately stops production processing and forces all business functions to run from the disaster-recovery environment. This end-to-end validation provides the highest level of assurance but also carries the greatest operational risk and cost. Simply reviewing procedures (tabletop), feeding scenarios into monitoring tools (simulation), or bringing the recovery environment online while the primary system remains active (parallel) do not meet the criteria because they leave production services untouched.
