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.
