CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Practice Question

The correct answer is 'Activating the business continuity plan which includes failing over to the off-site data center.' This is because a well-prepared business continuity plan accounts for geographical risks such as natural disasters, and the existence of an off-site data center implies that the company has planned for replication and failover processes which can be activated when the primary site is non-operational. In contrast, relying solely on onsite backups will not suffice because the compromised infrastructure and ongoing power outage hinder the company's ability to restore systems locally. Incremental backups without replication would not address the immediate need to maintain operations since the data and systems are still within the affected area. Similarly, awaiting the restoration of the primary data center is not a viable strategy as it does not address the need for immediate business continuity.
