High Availability (HA) ensures continuous operation by automatically switching to backup components (like virtual memory) during a failure, minimizing downtime, as in ABC Inc.’s case.

Option A (Deduplication):Removes redundant data, not a failover feature.

Option C (Fault Tolerance):Prevents failure impact but typically implies no interruption, not a switch.

Option D (Mirroring):Duplicates data, a component of HA, but not the full feature.

“High Availability maintains operations through automatic failover to backup resources, ensuring business continuity during component failures” (Module: System Resilience, Section: Availability Features).

A Team-wide BIA (Business Impact Analysis) evaluates interruptions specific to a department or team due to internal system failures, as described.

Option B (Organization-wide):Covers the entire organization, not department-specific.

Option C (Country-wide):Too broad, not system-focused.

Option D (Branch-wide):Branch-level, not necessarily team/department.

“Team-wide BIA assesses the impact of internal system failures on a specific department, tailoring continuity plans to team needs” (Module: Business Impact Analysis, Section: BIA Scope).

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is a process to identify critical business functions and assess the impact of disruptions. Its components typically include executive sponsorship (to ensure leadership support), formation of a committee (to conduct the analysis), and feedback (to refine the process). Safety, while important in disaster recovery, is not a direct component of BIA, which focuses on operational and financial impacts rather than physical safety measures.

Option A (Feedback):Essential for validating and improving BIA findings.

Option B (Executive Sponsorship):Critical for resource allocation and authority.

Option D (Formation of Committee):Necessary for collaboration and execution.

EDRP v3 outlines BIA components, excluding safety as a core element, focusing instead on impact assessment and resource prioritization (Module: Business Impact Analysis).

Polly estimated theImpact, which is the magnitude of damage (here, $200,000) resulting from a risk event (data leak). This drove her decision to upgrade, comparing it to the cost.

Option B (Hazard):A potential source of harm, not the damage estimate.

Option C (Likelihood):Probability of occurrence, not addressed here.

Option D (Vulnerability):Weakness (vulnerable server), not the damage itself.

“Impact, the estimated magnitude of loss from a risk event, such as a data leak costing $200,000, guides mitigation decisions in risk assessment” (Module: Risk Management, Section: Risk Factors).
