RTO / RPO Calculator
Translate your tolerance into RTO/RPO targets and a recovery strategy. ResiPlan derives these from your BIA, fully traceable.
RTO / RPO calculator
Why RTO/RPO matter
Downtime has a price
Every hour of outage costs revenue, SLA penalties and trust.
Regulators expect objectives
DORA, NIS2 and ISO 22301 require recovery objectives for critical services, derived from a real BIA.
Guesswork over- or under-spends
Too tight and you over-invest; too loose and you're exposed. The right target comes from the BIA, not a hunch.
How it works
Calculate
Turn your tolerance into RTO/RPO targets and a recovery strategy with the tool above.
Anchor in the BIA
In ResiPlan, those objectives derive from your Business Impact Analysis, process by process.
Test the failover
Rehearse recovery with exercises and stress tests; results feed maturity and audit evidence.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between RTO and RPO?
RTO is how fast you must recover; RPO is how much data loss you can accept. Both are set per critical process.
How do I choose a recovery strategy?
It follows your RTO: tighter objectives justify Warm Standby or Multi-region; looser ones allow Backup or Pilot Light. The calculator suggests a fit.
