Security Concepts and Practices

Which of the following assertions about an off-site information processing facility is TRUE?

  • A It should have the same amount of physical access restrictions as the primary processing site.
  • B It should be located in proximity to the originating site so that it can quickly be made operational.
  • C It should be easily identified from the outside so in the event of an emergency it can be easily found.
  • D Need not have the same level of environmental monitoring as the originating site since this would be cost prohibitive.
Explanation

An off-site information processing facility requires physical access controls comparable to those of the primary processing site to protect systems, equipment, media, and information from unauthorized access. Recovery-site separation, unobtrusive identification, and adequate environmental monitoring are also important resilience and security considerations.
