About this task

Recovery tiers are also associated with other organizational expectations such as levels of support, escalation, and communication.

Recovery tiers are used in these areas:

• BIA scores and impact assessment result.
• Element recovery times.

Some examples of recovery tiers include:

• Tier 1 – Mission Critical: 2 hours RTO.
• Tier 5 – Non-Essential: 1 week RTO.

Although there is no limitation to the number of recovery tiers, an organization can set 4 to 6 recovery tiers.

Note: Recovery tiers are automatically calculated on BIAs and element RTO by selecting the nearest recovery tier maximum time.
