An IS auditor discovers that an organization?s business
continuity plan provides for an alternate processing site
that will accommodate fifty percent of the primary
processing capability. Based on this, which of the following
actions should the IS auditor take?
A. Do nothing, because generally, less than twenty-five
percent of all processing is critical to an organization?s
survival and the backup capacity, therefore is adequate.
B. Identify applications that could be processed at the
alternate site and develop manual procedures to backup other
processing.
C. Ensure that critical applications have been identified
and that the alternate site could process all such applications.
D. Recommend that the information processing facility
arrange for an alternate processing site with the capacity
to handle at least seventy-five percent of normal processing.

Answer: C
Business continuity plans should provide for the recovery of
critical systems, not necessarily all systems. Perhaps only
fifty percent of the company's systems are critical.
Therefore, careful assessment of critical systems and
capacity requirements should be part of the IS auditor's
test of the plan.
