Pass the ECCouncil EDRP 312-76 Questions and answers with CertsForce

A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is the detailed blueprint outlining specific tactics and procedures for ensuring continuity and recovery post-disaster.

Option A (BCM):The overarching process, not the plan itself.

Option B (Crisis Management):Focuses on immediate response, not continuity.

Option D (Strategy):High-level approach, not the detailed plan.

“The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is the tactical blueprint detailing steps for continuity and recovery, operationalizing BCM goals” (Module: Business Continuity Planning, Section: BCP Definition).

Three-tier architecture in decentralized computing consists of Client (presentation), Application Server (logic), and Database Server (data), as standard layers.

Option A/B/C:Include unrelated or incorrect terms (e.g., Peer-to-Peer).

“Three-tier architecture comprises Client, Application Server, and Database Server, decentralizing functions for scalability” (Module: Network Architectures, Section: Tiered Architectures).

Recovery Consistency Objective (RCO) measures the allowable deviation between actual and target data consistency, critical for ABC’s distributed data plan.

Option B (ROG):Data recovery detail level, not consistency.

Option C (RLS):Geographic recovery scope, not deviation.

Option D (RSR):Service resilience, not data consistency.

“RCO ensures minimal deviation in data consistency across distributed centers, vital for security and partial loss prevention” (Module: Recovery Metrics, Section: RCO Definition).

NFPA 1600 (National Fire Protection Association Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs) is a widely recognized standard that provides a comprehensiveframework for managing disasters and ensuring business continuity. It covers all phases—prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, continuity, and recovery—and defines disasters explicitly.

Option B (ISO 27005):This is an information security risk management standard, not specific to disaster or business continuity programs.

Option C (INCITS 483-2012):This standard relates to virtualization security, not disaster management or business continuity.

Option D (ISO 27031):This focuses on ICT readiness for business continuity, a narrower scope than NFPA 1600.

EDRP v3 references NFPA 1600 as a key standard for disaster recovery and business continuity planning, emphasizing its holistic approach (Module: Business Continuity Management).

Introductory Awareness Training provides a basic overview of the BCP framework, processes, and strategies for employees with minimal execution roles, as Jack intended.

Option B (Simulation):Hands-on disaster simulation, too advanced.

Option C (Scenario):Specific scenario-based, not broad awareness.

Option D (Detailed Awareness):In-depth, for key personnel, not basic.

“Introductory Awareness Training educates non-core staff on BCP basics—framework, processes, and strategies—for general preparedness” (Module: Training and Awareness, Section: Training Types).

Global Load Balancing routes traffic across geographically distributed servers (e.g., London to Mumbai) to optimize performance and handle server loss, as described.

Option A (High-Availability):Ensures uptime, not geographic routing.

Option C (Failover):Switches to a backup, not load distribution.

Option D (Network Load Balancing):Local load sharing, not global.

“Global Load Balancing distributes traffic across global servers, mitigating slowdowns from server loss by rerouting effectively” (Module: System Resilience, Section: Traffic Management).

Managed Disaster Recovery (MDR) involves third-party services handling backups and offsite replication, providing a comprehensive solution for data protection and recovery. This fits the description of outsourcing backup and replication to an external provider.

Option A (Continuous Data Protection):Real-time backup technology, not inherently third-party or offsite-focused.

Option C (Tape Vaulting):Offsite tape storage, but not replication-focused and typically manual, not managed.

Option D (Disk Shadowing):A form of mirroring, not third-party or offsite by definition.

“Managed Disaster Recovery leverages third-party expertise for offsite replication and backups, ensuring robust data protection with minimal internal overhead” (Module: Disaster Recovery Strategies, Section: Managed Services).

Non-Authoritative Active Directory Restoration is used to restore a domain controller’s Active Directory database from a backup when other domain controllers in the domain are still operational. It allows the restored server to synchronize with the intact servers, updating its directory to the current state. Since Zane’s other servers have intact Active Directories, this method ensures consistency without overwriting domain-wide data.

Option A (Server Migration):Involves moving services to a new server, not restoring AD.

Option B (Data Replication):A general process, not specific to AD restoration.

Option C (Authoritative Restoration):Used when the restored AD data must override others, not applicable here.

“Non-Authoritative Active Directory Restoration recovers a domain controller by leveraging replication from other intact controllers, ensuring domain consistency without forcing changes” (Module: System Recovery, Section: Active Directory Recovery).

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) determines the potential impact of disruptions on business processes, identifying critical functions and consequences.

Option A (Risk Management):Mitigates risks, not impact-focused.

Option C (Risk Assessment):Identifies risks, not their impact.

Option D (Vulnerability Assessment):Finds weaknesses, not process impact.

“Business Impact Analysis (BIA) quantifies the effects of disruptions on business processes, a cornerstone of continuity planning” (Module: Business Impact Analysis, Section: BIA Purpose).

OS-Based Virtualization (e.g., containerization) uses software like containers (Docker, LXC) or virtual engines to run multiple isolated instances on a single OS kernel, as described.

Option A (Data Virtualization):Abstracts data access, not container-based.

Option B (Network Virtualization):Virtualizes network resources, not OS-based.

Option C (Desktop Virtualization):Virtualizes desktops, not container-specific.

“OS-Based Virtualization leverages containers or virtual engines to isolate applications on a shared OS, enhancing efficiency” (Module: Virtualization and Recovery, Section: Virtualization Types).
