Which of the following is necessary to have FIRST in the
development of a business continuity plan?

A. Risk-based classification of systems

B. Inventory of all assets

C. Complete documentation of all disasters

D. Availability of hardware and software

Answer Posted / guest

Answer: A

A well-defined, risk-based classification system for all
assets and processes of the organization is one of the most
important component for initializing the business continuity
planning efforts. A well-defined risk-based classification
system would assist in identifying the criticality of each
of the key processes and assets used by the organization.
This would assist in the easy identification of key assets
and processes to be secured and plans to be made to recover
these processes and assets at the earliest after a disaster.
Inventory of critical assets and not all assets is required
for initiating a business continuity plan. Complete
documentation of all disasters is not a prerequisite for
initiating a business continuity plan, rather various
disasters are considered while developing the plan and only
the one having an impact on the organization is addressed in
the plan. The availability of hardware and software is not
required for initiating the development of a plan; however,
it is considered when developing the detailed plan in
accordance with the strategy adopted.
