Answer: A
If one organization updates its hardware and software
configuration, it may mean that it is no longer compatible
with the systems of the other party in the agreement. This
may mean that each company is unable to use the facilities
at the other company to recover their processing following a
disaster. Resources being unavailable when needed are an
intrinsic risk in any reciprocal agreement, but this is a
contractual matter and is not the greatest risk. The plan
can be tested by paper-based walk-throughs and, possibly, by
agreement between the companies. The difference in security
infrastructures, while a risk, is not insurmountable.
