An organization's disaster recovery plan states that the maximum amount of data they can tolerate losing is 3 hours’ worth of work. Which term best describes this criterion?
RPO
MTTR
RTO
DLP
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is defined as the maximum targeted period in which data might be lost from an IT service due to a major incident. The correct answer Recovery Point Objective (RPO) directly matches the definition described in the question, where a company determines how much historical data can be lost without severely impacting business continuity. Recovery Time Objective (RTO), while critical, is concerned with the duration it takes to recover after a disruption, not the amount of data lost. Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) is related to repairs, not data loss, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a strategy to prevent data breaches, not a metric related to acceptable data loss in disaster scenarios.
