discontinue maintenance of the disaster recovery plan (DRP>

coordinate disaster recovery administration with the outsourcing vendor

delegate evaluation of disaster recovery to a third party

delegate evaluation of disaster recovery to internal audit

Explanation
An organization outsourced its IS functions. To meet its responsibility for disaster recovery, the organization should coordinate disaster recovery administration with the outsourcing vendor. This is because the organization remains accountable for ensuring the continuity and availability of its IS functions, even if they are outsourced to a third party. The organization should establish clear roles and responsibilities, communication channels, testing procedures, and escalation processes with the outsourcing vendor for disaster recovery purposes. The organization should not discontinue maintenance of the disaster recovery plan (DRP), as it still needs to have a documented and updated plan for restoring its IS functions in case of a disaster. The organization should not delegate evaluation of disaster recovery to a third party or internal audit, as it still needs to monitor and review the performance and compliance of the outsourcing vendor with respect to disaster recovery objectives and standards.

remotely access the database.

update data without authentication.

Having access to the database could provide access to database utilities, which can update the database
without an audit trail and without using the application. Using SQL only provides read access to information,
