CISSP study material · question 453 of 500

A budget review asks which alternate site type is cheapest to maintain and what it costs the organisation in return. What does NIST SP 800-34 say?

  1. The warm site is the least expensive to maintain, but has the longest activation time.
  2. The cold site is the least expensive to maintain, but may need substantial time to acquire and install equipment.
  3. The mobile site is the least expensive to maintain, but cannot support high impact systems.
  4. The hot site is the least expensive to maintain once the equipment is amortised.
Show the answer

Answer: B. The cold site is the least expensive to maintain, but may need substantial time to acquire and install equipment.

Cold sites cost least to maintain but may take substantial time to acquire and install equipment, with warm sites sitting between the two extremes.
