While establishing RPOs, RTOs, and determining recovery costs are all critical components of the disaster recovery planning process, the primary goal of a BIA is to identify and prioritize the business functions and processes that must be restored after a disruption. This helps ensure that resources are allocated to the most critical areas that have the highest impact on the organization's ability to function. Once these priorities are clear, you can then set appropriate RPOs, RTOs, and plan for recovery costs accordingly.
