To recap on their definitions, MTO (Maximum Tolerable Outage) is the maximum amount of time that a process or facility can be unavailable before significant disruption and/or financial loss occurs to an organisation.

It’s not surprising therefore that two of the prominent regulating bodies in the United States, FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.) and NFA (National Futures Association), both define their expectations [...]]]></description>

Massey University&#8217;s annual BusinesSMEasure canvassed 1000 companies across the country.
