ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
During a quarterly disaster-recovery exercise, a cloud-based retail platform automatically redirected traffic to its warm-standby environment. The service became fully operational there 30 minutes after the primary region was isolated. Log analysis shows the replica database state lagged the primary by 11 minutes at the moment of cutover. Business requirements call for an RTO of 15 minutes and an RPO of 5 minutes. Which assessment best describes the test outcome?
The solution violated both the RTO and RPO, indicating unacceptable outage duration and data loss.
The disaster-recovery solution met both the RTO and RPO targets.
The solution met the RTO but violated the RPO and must improve its replication cadence.
The solution violated the RTO but met the RPO and needs faster fail-over automation.
The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) defines the maximum acceptable duration of service unavailability, set here at 15 minutes. Because recovery took 30 minutes-double the target-the test failed to meet the RTO. The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) limits allowable data loss to 5 minutes, but the replica was 11 minutes behind, so the test also failed to meet the RPO. Consequently, both objectives were violated, indicating the need to speed up fail-over and increase replication frequency. The other statements misinterpret one or both metrics.
