Preparing the Business Impact Analysis
Abstract
A Business Impact Assessment (BIA) articulates the component restoration priorities that an interruption in service may have on an information system, application, or network. Establishing relative recovery priorities is importance since it’s often the case that not all components can be recovered simultaneously. Escalation thresholds are predecided upon time frames for notifying the right people about an outage and defining such thresholds up front can help avoid confusion in the event of a disruption.
