[CISSP-D] Re: Information on the topic of Insurance

You should understand the benefits and limitations of insurance as 
an element of BCP/DRP. Note that insurance is not a security control 
in that it is not preventative, detective, nor corrective. However, 
it can reduce the impact of a disaster in some situations. For 
example, if you have a warehouse where you store inventory for 
future orders and the warehouse burns down. Insurance would reduce 
the impact of the direct financial loss of the warehouse, possibly 
the inventory, and operational costs associated with dealing with 
the fire. But it is not likely that insurance would cover loss of 
future orders or damage to your reputation. If a questions was to be 
asked about insurance it is likely to be a "critical thinking" type 
questions where you need to understand the benefits and limitations 
of insurance.
