ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
During a tabletop disaster-recovery exercise, a regional healthcare provider states that clinical systems must be operational at an alternate location within 24 hours, but budget constraints rule out fully duplicated infrastructure. Which interim processing strategy best satisfies the stated recovery objective while controlling cost?
A warm site maintains powered servers, communications circuits, and periodically refreshed data but does not run live production workloads. Because most infrastructure is pre-staged, systems can be restored within hours-typically well under a 24-hour RTO-yet the organization avoids the expense of a fully mirrored hot site.
A hot site is immediately operational but costs more due to active duplication.
A cold site is inexpensive but lacks pre-installed hardware and current data, making a 24-hour recovery unlikely.
Reciprocal agreements rely on another company's resources and often introduce scheduling conflicts and limited capacity, risking failure to meet the guaranteed RTO.
