Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 1024

Which of the following is the GREATEST concern if the recovery time objective (RTO) is not achieved during a disaster recovery test?

Answer options

• A. Potential loss of revenue
• B. Lack of network redundancy
• C. Inadequate system availability
• D. Lack of clear roles and responsibilities

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The greatest concern when the RTO is not achieved is the potential loss of revenue, as prolonged downtime can directly affect a company's income. While lack of network redundancy, inadequate system availability, and unclear roles can contribute to issues, they do not have the immediate financial impact that revenue loss does.
