This lesson completes Domain 7, Security Operations (13% of the exam, ISC2 exam outline effective 15 April 2024). It covers tasks 7.10 to 7.15: implement recovery strategies, implement disaster recovery (DR) processes, test disaster recovery plans, participate in business continuity (BC) planning and exercises, implement and manage physical security, and address personnel safety and security concerns. The business impact analysis and continuity requirements were introduced in Domain 1 (lesson 3); here you turn those requirements into working recovery capabilities and test them.
