Zorluk: OrtaBusiness Impact Analysis and Business Continuity Management

A pharmaceutical research organization completes a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) for its clinical trial data management system. The BIA determines that during an unplanned system outage, the organization can tolerate losing a maximum of 15 minutes of uncommitted trial records, while the system itself must be restored to functional operation within 6 hours. Which of the following metrics represents the 15-minute maximum data loss threshold?

  1. Recovery Point Objective (RPO)Cevap
  2. B
    Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
  3. C
    Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD)
  4. D
    Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

Cevap

Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) represents the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time prior to an incident. In this scenario, limiting lost trial records to 15 minutes defines the organization's RPO.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the two operational metrics provided in the BIA scenario.
The scenario highlights a 15-minute data loss threshold and a 6-hour system restoration window.
Business Impact Analyses distinguish between data retention boundaries and service recovery durations.
2
Map the 15-minute data loss limit to the correct business continuity metric.
The 15-minute data loss window corresponds to the Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
RPO specifies the maximum allowable interval of data loss measured back in time from the moment of failure.
