Business Impact Analysis

A business impact analysis (BIA) is considered a functional analysis, in which a team collects data through interviews and documentary sources; documents business functions, activities, and transactions; develops a hierarchy of business functions; and finally applies a classification scheme to indicate each individual function’s criticality level.

The BCP committee must identify the threats to the company and map them to the following characteristics to determine their criticality levels:

  • Maximum tolerable downtime
  • Operational disruption and productivity
  • Financial considerations
  • Regulatory responsibilities
  • Reputation
Committee must gather this information from the people who do know, which are department managers and specific employees throughout the organization.
