CISA QUESTION #6835
Question 1
An organization conducts business impact analysis and assigns Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 1 hour but performs full backups only weekly with no incremental backups. What is the MAXIMUM potential data loss?
  • 1 hour
  • 168 hours (1 week)✔️
  • 24 hours
  • Unknown
Correct Answer Explanation
RPO defines maximum acceptable data loss, while backup frequency determines actual potential data loss. Weekly backups mean up to 1 week of data could be lost in a disaster. The gap between 1-hour RPO requirement and weekly backup capability represents a critical mismatch between business requirements and technical implementation.
