What will be an ideal response?


1. The IR plan focuses on immediate response, but if the event escalates or is disastrous (such as a fire, flood, earthquake, or total blackout), the process moves on to disaster recovery and business continuity.

2. The DR plan typically focuses on restoring systems at the original site after disasters occur and, as such, is closely associated with the BC plan.

3. The BC occurs concurrently with DR plan when the damage is major or long term, requiring more than simple restoration of information and information resources. The BCP establishes critical business functions at an alternate site.
