BCI CBCI Exam Questions
- Topic 1: Introduction: This section lays the groundwork for newcomers to business continuity by clarifying what business continuity is, why it matters in organizational resilience, and how its fundamental practices interconnect under the Good Practice Guidelines (GPG) framework.
- Topic 2: Policy and Programme Management and Embedding: This part guides users through establishing a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), including how to craft governance, define a policy, and embed these elements into the fabric of an organization for long-term sustainability.
- Topic 3: Analysis This module dives into the analytical stage, focusing on tools such as Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and risk assessment to identify critical functions and vulnerabilities—essential for understanding what the organization must protect and why.
- Topic 4: Design: Here, learners explore how to translate analysis into strategic plans by developing continuity designs that mitigate identified risks, ensuring critical operations remain functional or can be quickly restored during disruptions.
- Topic 5: Implementation: This section covers putting the designed continuity strategies into action, including creating and deploying incident response and business continuity plans, structuring effective response teams, and ensuring operational readiness.
- Topic 6: Validation: This final module emphasizes testing and verifying the effectiveness of implemented plans through exercises and reviews—ensuring that what was designed and implemented actually performs as intended under real-world conditions.

In relation to maintaining a Business Continuity (BC) culture, the first few minutes of every Business Continuity (BC) workshop and presentation can be used by the BC professional to:
GPG 7.0 positions Embracing Business Continuity (PP2) as intentionally improving BC culture by embedding BC into the organization---moving away from compliance enforcement and toward genuine understanding, ownership, and engagement. The opening minutes of workshops are a powerful culture tool: they set context (''why this matters''), connect continuity to the organization's purpose, customers, obligations, and staff wellbeing, and reinforce that BC protects value and reduces harm. That is exactly option B.
Using the opening to allocate new responsibilities (A) can trigger resistance and anxiety, especially before establishing meaning and benefits. Option C risks becoming performative; culture is strengthened by shared purpose and participation, not by showcasing leadership success. Option D is not the purpose of the opening minutes; re-designing procedures belongs to technical workstreams, whereas workshops/presentations start best by aligning participants to the mission, priorities, and practical value of BC. This approach supports consistent messaging and helps build the shared mindset that PP2 aims for---so B is the best answer.
Where social media is a key element in an organization's communications response strategy, it is important for the organization to:
The CBCI 7.0 course highlights that an effective social media strategy requires establishing and nurturing a following before incidents occur. A pre-existing audience ensures messages disseminated during disruptions reach stakeholders promptly and credibly. While empowering staff to engage may lead to inconsistent messaging and risks, centralized management ensures accuracy and control. Recording engagement can be useful but is secondary. Limiting social media to one-way communications may reduce interaction but safeguards message consistency. Building presence early is foundational to effective crisis communications.
Which of the following is a technique for collecting Business Impact Analysis (BIA) information?
Questionnaires and surveys are widely used and effective techniques for gathering BIA information. They enable the Business Continuity professional to collect standardized data on activity priorities, dependencies, and recovery requirements from a broad range of stakeholders. The CBCI 7.0 course highlights that well-designed questionnaires provide structured insights while being scalable and efficient, especially in larger organizations. While workplace observation and reviews provide useful context, and budget reviews may give financial perspectives, they are not primary tools for capturing the detailed operational data needed for BIAs.
The method to measure Business Continuity (BC) culture that assesses levels of response and performance in similar situations across all levels and the breadth of an organization is:
In CBCI 7.0 (aligned to BCI GPG 7.0), measuring BC culture is most meaningful when it focuses on what people actually do under similar conditions---not only what they say they know. A ''behavioural consistency'' approach evaluates whether teams and leaders respond in a predictable, repeatable, and aligned way when faced with comparable situations across different parts of the organization. This directly fits the question wording: it looks at levels of response and performance ''across all levels and the breadth'' of the organization, identifying whether BC behaviours are embedded uniformly or only present in pockets. GPG 7.0 also reinforces that embracing BC is achieved by embedding behaviours beyond compliance, leading to improved culture and fit-for-purpose capability.
By contrast, ''BC awareness'' typically measures knowledge/visibility (training, communications reach), not consistency of performance. ''Unstructured observations'' can provide insight but lacks repeatability and comparability across the organization. ''Pre-mortem checks'' are a useful technique for anticipating failure modes, but they are not primarily a culture measurement method focused on observed response consistency.
When conducting a Business Impact Analysis (BIA), an understanding of the requirements for people, information and data, finance and suppliers is required to identify resources and dependencies for:
In GPG-aligned CBCI 7.0 practice, the BIA estimates impacts over time and identifies what must be recovered, in what order, and with what minimum capability. A key BIA output is a clear view of the resources and dependencies needed to deliver the organization's prioritised activities---including people/skills, information and data, technology, premises, finance, suppliers, and key internal/external interdependencies. This is foundational because strategies and solutions (PP4) and the enabling plans (PP5) must be based on what the BIA proves is required to restore delivery.
Therefore, option A is correct: those requirement categories are analysed specifically to identify the dependencies that enable prioritised activities to continue or resume.
Option B (general business plan) is broader strategic planning, not the specific continuity dependency mapping output from a BIA. Option C relates to culture development (PP2), not BIA dependency capture. Option D (response structure) uses BIA outputs, but the direct purpose of gathering people/data/finance/supplier requirements during BIA is to map the resources and dependencies for prioritised activities.
