Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between RPO and RTO?
RPO defines acceptable data loss. RTO defines acceptable recovery time. Both must be aligned with business impact and technical capability.
Why do RPO/RTO targets fail?
They fail when business expectations, technical architecture, backups, procedures and tests are not aligned.
Is this the same as a disaster recovery plan?
No. A plan documents actions. A readiness assessment checks if the organization can actually meet recovery targets.
What is the Growth Infra offer?
RecoveryShield translates recovery gaps into executive decisions and a practical resilience roadmap.
