CIPS L6M7 Exam - Topic 2 Question 15 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L6M7 exam
Question #: 15
Topic #: 2
[All L6M7 Questions]

Henry is the Head of IT at Purple Rain Ltd and is presenting a case to the Senior Leadership Team to ask for more investment in the company's IT strategy. Henry believes the company has an issue with data resilience and is asking for more money to be invested in this. He has completed a Business Impact Assessment (BIA) to better understand what data the company holds. Jon is the Head of Procurement and has listened intently to Henry's presentation. He has decided to go back to his department and complete a thorough risk assessment, as he is aware his team holds a lot of data on suppliers and contracts. The CEO of Purple Rain, Roger Nelson, has asked Henry about next steps in order to protect the company from further risks associated with the IT strategy. Data is currently stored on servers located at Purple Rain's Headquarters. The server room is locked at all times of the day and is only accessible to staff members who have a key. The building itself is extremely secure with CCTV systems located both inside the server room and outside it. However, the server room is prone to overheating.

What should Henry's next steps be?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Given Henry's focus on data resilience, the next logical step is to complete a Priority Assessment and define Recovery Objectives. This will help identify which data and systems are most at risk and require immediate attention in the Data Resilience Plan. (P.105)

I think a risk assessment is a good start, but we need more than just that.

Training staff on security is a must, but we need to address the overheating issue first.

Cloud storage? Not sure if that's the best move right now.

Contracting a cloud provider could be a good move, but I’m not sure if that’s the best next step right now. It might complicate things with data management.

I practiced a similar question where we had to decide between training staff or investing in technology. I wonder if training could help, but it seems like a short-term fix.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think just increasing the IT Security budget might not address the overheating issue. It feels like there’s more to consider here.

I remember we discussed the importance of a Priority Assessment in class. It seems like Henry should really focus on that to identify critical data first.

Okay, I've got a plan. I'll start by looking at the options and seeing which one seems to tackle the main problems mentioned, like the overheating server room and the need for better data resilience. Then I'll try to support my choice with evidence from the case study.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the key is to look at the options and try to determine which one best addresses the specific concerns raised in the case study, like the server room issues and the need for better data protection.

I'm a bit confused by all the details in the question. There's a lot of information to sift through. I'll need to carefully read through it again and try to identify the core problems that Henry needs to address.

This seems like a pretty straightforward IT security question. I'd focus on the key issues mentioned, like data resilience, server room overheating, and the need to protect against risks.
