Episode 106: Disaster Recovery Planning: RTO, RPO

When disaster strikes, organizations must restore operations quickly—and with minimal data loss. This episode focuses on Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP), particularly the metrics used to guide recovery strategies: Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO). We explain how to define recovery priorities, select appropriate backup and failover solutions, and develop DR plans that meet business expectations. You’ll also learn about recovery site options, communication planning, and regular testing. CISSPs must understand DRP as part of a broader resilience strategy tied to business continuity.
