Explanation

A discretionary expense is one that is optional - something an organization can choose to skip without mandatory consequence. Disaster recovery should never be treated as optional. It is a committed expense (a necessary, ongoing cost of doing business), and it also supports compliance with legal statutes and regulations. Treating DR as discretionary leads to underfunding or neglect, which can be catastrophic when an actual disaster occurs. It is a business necessity, not an elective.
