Answer: A

Where a unified business continuity plan does not exist, the
plan for information systems processing should be extended
to include planning for all units that are dependent upon
information systems processing functions. But, when
formulating a thorough business continuity plan, a very
important issue to be considered is the staff that will be
required to maintain critical business functions over time,
until the organization is fully operational again. Another
important issue is the configuration of the business
facilities, e.g., desks, chairs, telephones, etc., that will
be needed to maintain critical business functions in the
short, medium and long term. Choice B is incorrect because
it has to do with what a good business continuity plan will
take into account in case of disastrous events happening.
This could be considered as a subset of a business
continuity plan, but it does not have the same impact as the
staff required and trained to perform in the event of a
natural disaster. Choice C is incorrect because, like in the
natural disaster case, this could be considered a subset of
a business continuity plan, but it does not have the same
impact as the staff required and trained to perform in the
event of a disaster that would impact information systems
processing and end-user functions. Choice A would be the
subject and choices B and C would be the cause to deploy the
business continuity plan. Choice D is incorrect because it
deals with disruptions in service having their roots in
systems malfunctions; but again, this would be another
aspect dealt with in the business continuity plan, but not a
main issue included in it.
