CISM study material · question 877 of 1000

Which definition matches recovery time objective as NIST states it?

  1. The tolerable amount of data loss measured back from the outage
  2. The maximum time a system resource can remain unavailable before unacceptable impact on other resources, on business processes and on the maximum tolerable downtime
  3. The total outage the process owner will tolerate
  4. The elapsed time to declare a disaster and notify the team
Show the answer

Answer: B. The maximum time a system resource can remain unavailable before unacceptable impact on other resources, on business processes and on the maximum tolerable downtime

SP 800-34r1 measures the recovery time objective from the resource: how long it can be down before other resources, the processes it supports, and the tolerable downtime all suffer unacceptably.
