Purpose The Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is a fundamental part of the first phase of business continuity planning. It enables the organization to identify the time critical activities, and resources needed to support its key products and services, understand the threats to them and choose appropriate risk treatments. Objectives The BIA is a defined and documented method for determining the impact of a disruption over a period of time on the activities that support the organisations key products and services. It will: identify activities that support its key products and services; identify impacts resulting from the disruption to these activities, and determine how these vary over time; establish the maximum tolerable period of disruption for each activity by identifying: o the maximum time period after the start of a disruption within o which each activity needs to be resumed; o the minimum level at which each activity needs to be o performed upon resumption; and o the length of time within which normal levels of operation need to be resumed; categorize its activities according to their priority for recovery and identify its critical activities; identify all dependencies relevant to the critical activities, including suppliers and outsource partners;
identify suppliers and outsource partners on whom critical activities depend and determine what BCM arrangements are in place for the relevant products and services they provide; set recovery time objectives for the resumption of critical activities within their maximum tolerable period of disruption; and estimate the resources that each critical activity will require for resumption.
