TheRecovery Point Objective (RPO)(D) inbusiness continuity planningdefines the maximum age of data (i.e., the amount of data loss acceptable) that can be tolerated in a disaster before recovery. It represents the time between the last backup and the point of failure, indicating potential data loss. For example, an RPO of 4 hours means up to 4 hours of data could be lost. According toISO 22301, RPO is critical for determining backup and replication strategies.
Maximum Time Allowed (MTA) (A):Not a standard term in business continuity.
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) (B):Defines the maximum downtime before recovery, not data loss.
Maximum Allowable Outage (MAO) (C):Refers to the maximum time a system can be unavailable, similar to RTO, not data loss.
