ECCouncil CCISO 712-50 New Questions

 Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP):

A DRP provides detailed, step-by-step procedures for restoring systems and operations after a disaster, such as a major earthquake. The focus is on IT systems and critical infrastructure.

 Comparison with Other Plans:

While a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) addresses broader organizational operations, the DRP specifically targets technical recovery.

 Supporting Reference:

CCISO materials highlight DRP as the primary tool for regaining IT operational normalcy after a disaster.

 Risk-Based Decision-Making:

When the cost of remediation outweighs the value of the asset being protected, organizations may decide not to implement the control.

 Balancing Costs and Benefits:

This decision reflects a calculated acceptance of risk, prioritizing resources where they deliver the most value.

 Supporting Reference:

CCISO materials emphasize aligning remediation decisions with asset value and risk tolerance to ensure cost-effective resource allocation.

 Risk Acceptance vs. Mitigation:

High risk tolerance allows an organization to accept risks instead of mitigating them, provided the potential impact is within acceptable thresholds.

 Decision Dynamics:

Organizations with high risk tolerance may prioritize cost savings or strategic objectives over implementing costly mitigation controls.

 Supporting Reference:

The CCISO framework discusses risk tolerance as a key determinant in choosing risk acceptance strategies, emphasizing alignment with organizational goals.

 Definition of Operational Metrics:

Operational metrics measure the day-to-day effectiveness of security processes and controls.

Examples include patching times, virus prevention rates, and vulnerability mitigation efforts.

 Why This is Correct:

These metrics focus on operational activities that maintain security and efficiency.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. Risk Metrics: Measure potential risks, not operational activities.

B. Management Metrics: Focus on strategic outcomes, not daily operations.

D. Compliance Metrics: Measure adherence to regulations, not operational performance.

 References:

EC-Council identifies metrics like mean time to patch and vulnerabilities mitigated as key operational metrics for maintaining security effectiveness.
