Local environment security management must be handled in a manner specific to the facility’s locale. Questions to ask include what the local crime rate is, how vulnerable the locale is to natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes, whether the utilities are reliable, and even whether the facility is located beneath a major flight path. Given that each facility will have unique locale considerations, what are some best practices that could be used to implement an effective local environment security design?
Topic 2: Business Continuity Management
Business continuity management is intended to mitigate the effects of a disaster that makes the company’s physical and/or digital assets unavailable.

However, DRaaS is a cloud-based service, so what would happen if the business did not have access to a reliable Internet connection? Under what circumstances would a DRaaS solution be appropriate, and what are some alternative continuity management solutions that could be deployed if DRaaS is not available?
