CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 483

A company's BIA indicates that any loss of more than one hour of data would be catastrophic to the business. Which of the following must be in place to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. RPO
• B. RTO
• C. SLA
• D. DRP
• E. BCP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is RPO (Recovery Point Objective), which defines the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) relates to how quickly systems should be restored after a failure, while SLA (Service Level Agreement), DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan), and BCP (Business Continuity Plan) are broader frameworks that do not specifically address the time sensitivity of data loss as RPO does.
