Discuss BCI CBCI Exam Topic 4 Question 17

As part of the process to develop a Business Continuity policy, it is important to ensure that:

AAccess to the policy is restricted to top management and department heads

BThe policy is communicated widely within the organization

CAll personnel who are provided with a copy of the policy are required to confirm that they will treat its contents as confidential

DCommunications specialists take control of the distribution of the policy and the management of any future revisions

Suggested Answer: B

The CBCI 7.0 course emphasizes that wide communication of the Business Continuity policy is vital to ensure that all personnel understand the organization's commitment to continuity and their roles within the BCMS. Transparency fosters engagement and accountability, encouraging personnel to embrace continuity practices. Restricting access limits awareness and can hinder implementation. While confidentiality might apply to sensitive procedures, the policy itself should be broadly accessible. Communication specialists may support distribution but ownership of policy dissemination and updates remains a governance responsibility to ensure consistency and reach.

I wonder if option D is necessary? I mean, shouldn't management have the final say on revisions instead of just communications specialists?

Jennie 3 months ago

I feel like we discussed a similar question in class, and it emphasized the need for widespread communication, which points to option B again.

Chantell 3 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about confidentiality being important, so maybe option C could be relevant too?

Julene 4 months ago

I think option B makes the most sense since everyone in the organization should be aware of the policy, right?
