ISC2 SSCP Exam - Topic 1 Question 103 Discussion

Posted by Azzie on Jun 12, 2025 at 07:01 PM

Which of the following statements pertaining to a Criticality Survey is incorrect?

Suggested Answer: A

The Criticality Survey is implemented through a standard questionnaire to gather input from the most knowledgeable people. Not all personnel that is going to be part of recovery teams is necessarily able to help in identifying critical functions of the organization.

The intent of such a survey is to identify the services and systems that are critical to the organization.

Having a clearly stated purpose for the survey helps in avoiding misinterpretations.

Management's approval of the survey should be obtained before distributing it.

I'm pretty sure the Criticality Survey is to determine which of the organization's systems are the most 'critical' for keeping the business running. You know, like the ones that can't be 'surveyed' without the whole place collapsing. Just a thought.
