Answer: C
The most vital asset for a company is data. In a business
continuity plan, it is critical to ensure that data is
available. Hence, regular testing of the backup of data must
be done. If testing is not done, the organization may not be
able to retrieve data when required during a disaster;
hence, the company may lose its most valuable asset and may
not be able to recover from the disaster. The loss on
account of lack of insurance is limited to the value of
assets. If the BCP manual is not updated, the company may
find the BCP manual not fully relevant for recovery during a
disaster. However, recovery could be still possible. Non
maintenance of records in an access system will not directly
impact the relevance of the business continuity plan.
