ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
During a cloud migration initiative, you propose an active-active multi-region design that would reduce the e-commerce platform's expected downtime from four hours to fifteen minutes. The CFO wants a cost-benefit analysis that proves the extra cloud spend delivers a positive ROI, and asks you to extract the required monetary data from the business impact analysis (BIA). Which specific BIA output provides the most direct financial value for calculating the avoided losses created by the new design?
The inventory of upstream and downstream application dependencies captured during BIA workshops
The estimated cost of outage per hour for the e-commerce platform identified during the BIA
The maximum tolerable outage (MTO) of four hours documented in the BIA
The qualitative criticality rating (High) assigned to the platform in the BIA report
ROI compares the cost of a control with the money it will save. To quantify savings from reduced downtime, you need the dollar amount the business loses for every hour (or minute) the application is unavailable. Multiplying that figure by the number of hours of downtime avoided translates the technical improvement into a monetary benefit. Maximum tolerable outage, qualitative criticality ratings, and dependency lists are important BIA artifacts but do not provide concrete financial figures, so they cannot be used directly to compute cost savings.
