Question

City council demands 'full continuity' for a rarely used intranet wiki equal to water SCADA HMI remote access. What should the security leader do?

Accepted Answer

Reject equal continuity priority absent BIA evidence that the wiki has comparable time-sensitive impact. — Equal love for every app is politics, not continuity. Water HMI access can threaten public health; a dusty wiki mostly threatens convenience. Without BIA evidence of similar impact, 'full continuity for everything' is a budget and focus trap.

Answer

Approve identical RTOs for both systems to avoid political conflict with council.

Answer

Disable SCADA remote access so both systems share the same lower continuity bar.

Answer

Classify the wiki as SCADA infrastructure so procurement rules force equal funding.
