Explanation
A data loss prevention (DLP) solution is a type of detective control that monitors and prevents unauthorized transmission or leakage of sensitive data from the organization. A DLP solution can enhance the organization's antivirus controls by detecting and blocking malicious code that attempts to exfiltrate data, but this is not its main benefit. A DLP solution cannot eliminate the risk of data loss, as there may be other sources of data loss that are not covered by the DLP solution, such as physical theft, accidental deletion, or natural disasters. A DLP solution also does not reduce the need for a security awareness program, as human factors are often the root cause of data loss incidents. A security awareness program can educate and motivate employees to follow security policies and best practices, and to report any suspicious or anomalous activities.

= The best way to ensure that the disaster recovery plan (DRP) can be carried out in an emergency is to provide annual disaster recovery training to the appropriate staff, such as the disaster recovery team, the business process owners, and the IT staff. Disaster recovery training is a process of educating and preparing the staff for their roles, responsibilities, and actions in the event of a disaster that affects the availability, integrity, or confidentiality of the information assets and systems that support the business processes and functions. Disaster recovery training can help to ensure that the staff are aware, capable, and confident to execute the DRP, as well as to minimize the impact and damage to the business continuity, reputation, and value. Disaster recovery training can also help to evaluate the adequacy, accuracy, and applicability of the DRP, as well as to identify and address any gaps, weaknesses, or errors that could hinder or compromise the disaster recovery process. Disaster recovery training can also help to document and report the training details, activities, and outcomes, and to provide feedback and recommendations for improvement and optimization of the DRP and the training process.
Storing disaster recovery documentation in a public cloud, maintaining an outsourced contact center in another country, and requiring disaster recovery documentation be stored with all key decision makers are all possible ways to ensure the availability and accessibility of the DRP in an emergency, but they are not the best ones. Storing disaster recovery documentation in a public cloud is a process of using a third-party service provider to store and manage the DRP documents online, which can offer benefits such as scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, but also risks such as data breach, data loss, or service disruption. Maintaining an outsourced contact center in another country is a process of using a third-party service provider to handle the communication and coordination of the disaster recovery process with the internal and external stakeholders, such as the customers, partners, or regulators, which can offer benefits such as redundancy, reliability, and expertise, but also risks such as cultural, legal, or contractual issues. Requiring disaster recovery documentation be stored with all key decision makers is a process of ensuring that the senior management and the business process owners have a copy of the DRP documents, which can offer benefits such as accountability, authority, and visibility, but also risks such as inconsistency, duplication, or unauthorized access.
