A risk practitioner is assisting with the preparation of a report on the organization's disaster recovery (DR) capabilities. Which information would have the MOST impact on the overall recovery profile?

Answer options

• A. The percentage of systems meeting recovery target times has increased
• B. The number of systems requiring a recovery plan has increased
• C. The number of systems tested in the last year has increased
• D. The percentage of systems with long recovery target times has decreased

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, highlights the improvement in systems meeting recovery target times, which directly enhances the recovery profile. Options B and C focus on the quantity of systems related to recovery plans and testing, which are important but do not directly indicate effectiveness in recovery. Option D mentions a decrease in long recovery times, which is positive but not as impactful as the increase in systems meeting their targets.
