CISM study material · question 881 of 1000

What does NIST say determining the recovery time objective allows planners to do?

  1. Calculate the annualised loss expectancy of an outage of that particular length here
  2. Determine the backup frequency that the system's own data is going to require from it
  3. Select technologies best suited to meeting the maximum tolerable downtime
  4. Set the maximum tolerable downtime for the affected business process that it actually supports
Show the answer

Answer: C. Select technologies best suited to meeting the maximum tolerable downtime

SP 800-34r1 states determining the recovery time objective is important because it allows organisations to identify and select recovery technologies and procedures best suited to meeting the maximum tolerable downtime — the objective drives the technology choice.
