When developing a disaster recovery plan, the criteria for determining the acceptable downtime should be the:
A.
annualized loss expectancy (ALE).
B.
service delivery objective.
C.
quantity of orphan data.
D.
maximum tolerable outage.
Explanation:
The recovery time objective is determined based on the acceptable downtime in case of a disruption of operations, it indicates the maximum tolerable outage that an organization considers to be acceptable before a system or process must resume following a disaster. Choice A is incorrect, because the acceptable downtime would not be determined by the annualized loss expectancy (ALE). Choices B and C are relevant to business continuity, but they are not determined by acceptable downtime.
Correct Answer is D.
The recovery time objective (RTO) is determined based on the acceptable downtime in case of a disruption of operations. It indicates the maximum tolerable outage that an organization considers to be acceptable before a system or process must resume following a disaster. Choice A is not correct because the acceptable downtime would not be determined by the ALE. Choices B and C are relevant to business continuity, but they are not determined by acceptable downtime.
I agree with the answer. D
