WGU Courses and Certificates Cybersecurity-Architecture-and-Engineering Question # 20 Topic 3 Discussion

The correct answer is A — Developing and implementing a testing plan for the DRP.

According to WGU Cybersecurity Architecture and Engineering (KFO1 / D488), testing the disaster recovery plan is critical to ensuring that it is functional and effective when an actual disruptive event occurs. Regularly scheduled DRP testing validates that recovery processes work as intended and that personnel are familiar with their responsibilities.

Reviewing (B) and training (D) are important but are supplementary activities. Risk assessment (C) is important for planning but does not test the DRP.

Reference Extract from Study Guide:

"Testing and exercising disaster recovery plans ensure operational readiness and reveal gaps or weaknesses that can be corrected before an actual event occurs."
