IT promises same-day restore for a permit system that has never been restored in a drill, and leadership wants that promise written as the RTO. How should BIA-informed recovery needs be set?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Promising a same-day pizza delivery from a kitchen that has never cooked is just hope on a whiteboard. BIA says how long the business can actually tolerate being down. Ground RTOs in impact needs and tested capability—not cheerleading.
Full Explanation
Recovery time objectives should be informed by business impact analysis of how long a function can be unavailable before unacceptable harm occurs. Untested IT restore claims are insufficient evidence of achievable performance. Aligning needed objectives with validated capability prevents fantasy RTOs from driving false readiness.
