The act or process of managing a crisis to prevent a catastrophic loss, if possible, and reduce the impact on the organization, including its reputation and brand is called what?

• A. Crisis management
• B. Disaster recovery
• C. Arbitration
• D. Telematics

Answer: (A)

Crisis management is the structured process of preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disruptive events in a way that minimizes catastrophic losses and protects the organization’s reputation and brand. It goes beyond simply fixing systems; it includes planning, early warning, decision-making, clear communication with stakeholders, and coordinating resources to shorten the crisis and preserve trust and value. Disaster recovery focuses mainly on restoring IT systems and data after a disruption, which is only one aspect of a broader crisis response. Arbitration is about resolving disputes outside court, not managing crises. Telematics involves collecting data from devices or vehicles, not handling organizational crises.
