What should be the focus of client/server contingency strategies? Give five examples of procedures that must be included in this type of strategy.

What will be an ideal response?


The focus of client/server contingency strategies must be on the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of the data being processed.

This strategy must include:

Backup media stored (to some degree) off-site or at an alternate site

Use of standardized hardware, software, and peripherals to enable backup and recovery to and from replacement systems

Documentation of all supported system configurations, with local copies of key vendor information

Coordination with security policies and system security controls used in the organization

Reliance on the systems priority and key data needs as documented in the BIA

Processes that aggressively limit the placement of data on client systems, with any local data kept for the minimum possible time

When local storage of data cannot be eliminated, sound procedures established to back up and periodically test restoration of local data

To the degree possible, automation of backup processes and proactive validation of the automated backup by repeatable processes

Coordination of all contingency solutions with the cyber IR plans and team operations
