1. What is the primary purpose of Business Continuity planning?
To eliminate all operational risk completely To replace cybersecurity controls entirely To reduce the need for incident reporting To maintain critical operations during disruptive events
2. What is the primary purpose of Disaster Recovery?
To manage employee performance reviews To restore systems and services after major disruption To eliminate all hardware failures permanently To replace cloud infrastructure automatically
3. Which of the following is an example of a disruptive event requiring continuity planning?
Ransomware attack affecting authentication systems Approved password rotation activity Standard workstation upgrades Routine software patching
4. What does Recovery Time Objective (RTO) refer to?
The amount of data loss allowed permanently The duration of annual maintenance windows The target time to restore services after disruption The number of backup copies retained
5. What does Recovery Point Objective (RPO) refer to?
The total duration of service outages The number of users affected by disruption The acceptable amount of data loss measured by time The speed of internet recovery during incidents
6. Why should backups be tested regularly?
Untested backups may fail during recovery attempts Testing backups removes the need for recovery planning Backups automatically validate themselves permanently Backup testing is only required after ransomware incidents
7. Which action BEST supports secure recovery after a cyber incident?
Restoring systems without reviewing compromise indicators Restoring clean backups and rotating compromised credentials Reusing exposed administrator passwords temporarily Disabling audit logging during recovery
8. Why are critical systems identified during continuity planning?
To prioritise recovery efforts appropriately To reduce documentation requirements To eliminate the need for escalation procedures To avoid testing continuity plans
9. Which statement about cloud services is MOST accurate?
Cloud services remove the need for continuity planning entirely Cloud platforms may still experience outages and operational failures SaaS providers automatically manage all customer recovery requirements Cloud outages cannot affect authentication services
10. What is the BEST response during a major operational disruption?
Share unverified information publicly to increase awareness Ignore escalation processes to speed up recovery Make undocumented production changes immediately Follow approved continuity and communication procedures
11. Which of the following is an example of poor BCDR practice?
Testing recovery procedures periodically Maintaining recovery documentation Relying on untested backups during critical incidents Following escalation procedures during outages
12. Why is communication important during incidents?
Poor communication may increase confusion and operational impact Communication is only required after systems recover fully Technical teams should avoid communication during incidents External communications should bypass approval procedures
13. What risk may arise from third-party service disruption?
Reduced need for continuity planning Automatic recovery of all dependent systems Elimination of cloud security risks Loss of critical services or authentication capabilities
14. Which behaviour BEST supports operational resilience?
Ignoring contingency processes during stressful situations Avoiding incident reporting to reduce operational pressure Understanding recovery priorities and escalation procedures Bypassing change controls during outages without approval
15. Why should continuity and recovery plans be reviewed regularly?
Operational environments and risks change over time Plans never require updates once documented Reviews remove the need for testing Recovery priorities remain identical permanently
16. Which of the following is a common continuity planning failure?
Maintaining redundant communication channels Identifying single points of failure too late Performing recovery testing exercises Following documented recovery procedures
17. What should employees do if backup or recovery issues are identified?
Ignore the issue unless a major outage occurs Attempt undocumented fixes in production systems Delay reporting until testing is completed independently Escalate the concern promptly through approved channels
18. Why is remote working capability important in continuity planning?
Remote access removes the need for security controls Remote workers are exempt from continuity procedures It may help maintain operations during office or environmental disruption Remote access eliminates dependency on communication systems
19. What may happen if continuity and recovery planning is ineffective?
Security risks reduce automatically Extended downtime, client impact, and operational disruption Recovery processes become unnecessary Incident escalation requirements disappear
20. What is the BEST overall approach to Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery?
Prioritise operational speed over recovery governance Depend entirely on cloud providers for resilience Prepare, test, communicate, and recover using approved procedures Avoid documenting recovery procedures to reduce complexity
