Business Continuity Starts with RTO and RPO

When a critical system fails, the clock starts ticking and so does the counter on revenue loss. Are you prepared with the right recovery metrics? In recent years, high-profile outages have highlighted the need for clearly defined RTO and RPO targets. In early 2025, Barclays Bank suffered a multi-day IT outage that disrupted online banking, card transactions, and ATMs, resulting in an estimated £7.5 million in customer compensation. Similarly, in October 2023, a data center cooling failure impacted DBS and Citibank in Singapore, resulting in more than 2.5 million failed payment and ATM transactions. These real-world failures illustrate the immense financial and reputational risks tied to insufficient recovery planning. As software architects and developers, we build the digital infrastructure that powers modern business. Yet too often, our disaster recovery planning relies on vague assurances rather than measurable standards. Let’s change that by mastering two critical metrics: Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
