Business continuity/disaster recovery is PRIMARILY the
responsibility of:
A. IS management.
B. business unit managers.
C. the security administrator.
D. the board of directors.
Answer / guest
Answer: D
The board of directors is primarily and ultimately
responsible for business continuity/disaster recovery. They
are entrusted with safeguarding both the assets of the
company and the viability of the company. Business
continuity/disaster recovery planning is not an isolated
activity, it must be consistant with and support the overall
plan of the organization. IS management and business unit
managers are responsible for the continuity/recovery of
their respective functions, not responsble for the
organization as a whole. The security adminitrator is
responsible for implementing, monitoring and enforcing
security policies established and authorized by management.
