When preparing a business continuity plan, who of the following is responsible for identifying and prioritizing time-critical systems? 

Answer options:

A. Executive management staff
B. Senior business unit management
C. BCP committee
D. Functional business units

B

Many elements of a BCP will address senior management, such as the statement of importance and priorities, the statement of organizational responsibility, and the statement of urgency and timing. Executive management staff initiates the project, gives final approval and gives ongoing support. The BCP committee directs the planning, implementation, and tests processes whereas functional business units participate in implementation and testing. Source: KRUTZ, Ronald L. & VINES, Russel
