Which document focuses on the plans and processes used during a disaster?

• A. Crisis Communications Plan
• B. Continuity of Operations Plan
• C. Disaster Recovery Plan
• D. Business Continuity Plan

Answer: (C)

Disaster Recovery Plan centers on restoring IT systems and data after a disruptive event. It lays out the specific steps, roles, and timelines needed to bring critical technology back online, including backup and restore procedures, failover to secondary sites, and recovery testing. Key targets like RPO (recovery point objective) and RTO (recovery time objective) guide what must be recovered and how quickly. Because the question asks for the document that focuses on the plans and processes used during a disaster, this plan is the best fit since its primary purpose is to recover technology and data after disruption. Other plans address related areas—messaging during crises, maintaining essential functions, or broader business operations—but they don’t zero in on the IT recovery steps and procedures the way a Disaster Recovery Plan does.
