Recovery time objectives (RTOs) (A) are a prerequisite for developing a BCP because they define how quickly critical business processes must be restored. CISM clearly identifies the business impact analysis (BIA) and its outputs-such as RTOs-as foundational inputs to continuity planning. Recovery procedures (C) and process maps (B) are developed after recovery requirements are known. Property inventories (D) support asset management but are not central to BCP formulation.
