It is important to assure the continuous and proper operation of information systems in business continuity planning and information recovery in disaster recovery.
For details on issues to consider in Business Impact Analysis, refer to Contingency planning guide for federal systems NIST 800-34.
In this project, you will set recovery objectives for a web-based e-mail and customer applications used by a private organization.
The recovery objectives to be set are Recovery Point Objective (RPO), Recovery Time Objective (RTO), Recovery Consistency Objective (RCO), and Recovery Capacity Objective (RCapO).
You need to justify the recovery targets you set. You should employ reasonableness for the organization and not go “overboard” and suggest an elaborate scheme that few organizations would find economically feasible.
An e-mail application was chosen as the context, as this should be a clearly understood application upon which to apply the concepts of recovery targets.
After reviewing the above materials, write a 4 page paper:
Address the following issues in your paper:
Recovery standards for a web-based email system used by private organization for communication with customers and internally: Recovery Point Objective (RPO), Recovery Time Objective (RTO), Recovery Consistency Objective (RCO), and Recovery Capacity Objective (RCapO).
Assignments should be four (4) full pages double-spaced, not counting the cover or reference page. Paper format: (a) Cover page, (b) Header, (c) Body.
Please use an introduction paragraph outlining what the paper topic is about specifically
Please have at least one citation per paragraph, more if needed to support your writing.
Please use academic references which are those that come from peer reviewed journals – HLSD, Journal of the AMA, or government agencies.
Support your key points with specific examples and data from government sources, peer-reviewed academic references, and subject matter experts.
