Interdependencies (e.g., CRM relies on IT infrastructure).
Risk probability and impact analysis (see Risk Matrix below).
Recovery costs vs. urgency (faster recovery is more expensive).
For Azpirantz Technologies LLP, RTO [Recovery Time Objective] further refined
based on:
Higher Risk Score = Lower RTO (Faster Recovery Required).
SOC has the highest risk (20 points) --> Must recover in 15 min - 1 hr.
HR/Admin has the lowest risk (4 points) --> Can recover in 24 hours.
