In CBCI 7.0, Enabling Solutions (PP5) focuses on implementing the agreed solutions produced in Solutions Design (PP4) and ensuring those solutions can be deployed through the response structure and BC plans. The GPG 7.0 Lite explains that once solutions have been specified and approved (PP4), they must be implemented before they can be deployed, and then supported by response structures and plans. Crucially, validation later confirms that implemented solutions work according to the agreed specifications. That means implementation must align to what was designed and approved—otherwise the organization risks implementing something that does not meet recovery requirements (e.g., RTOs, minimum capacity, dependency assumptions) and will likely fail validation or real incident use. Options A and B misunderstand governance: internal audit doesn’t “approve schedules” as a prerequisite, and the BC professional does not implement everything alone. Option D can undermine control; changes should be managed through governance/change control, not ad-hoc adjustment.
Questions 52
In relation to a disruption to activities, the Minimum Business Continuity Objective (MBCO):
Options:
A.
Should be the Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
B.
Should be attained either at the same time, or after, the RTO
C.
Is the point identified in the risk assessment when risks have been successfully mitigated
D.
Is the point set by top management for mobilizing response teams
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The CBCI 7.0 course defines the Minimum Business Continuity Objective (MBCO) as the minimum level of services or outputs that must be maintained or restored to avoid unacceptable consequences. The MBCO is achieved either simultaneously with or after the Recovery Time Objective (RTO), as the RTO specifies when recovery should be complete for prioritized activities. MBCO sets a baseline for continuity, focusing on critical minimum outputs, rather than risk assessment milestones or managerial mobilization decisions. Understanding this sequencing supports realistic and measurable recovery planning.
