Explanation:
Business continuity is of course a vital activity. However, prior to the creation of a
business continuity plan, it is essential to consider the potential impacts of disaster and to
understand the underlying risks. It is now widely accepted that both business impact analysis and
risk analysis are vital components of the business continuity process. However, many
organizations are unsure of how to approach these important disciplines.
BIA is important because it provides management level analysis by which an organization
assesses the quantitative (financial) and qualitative (non-financial) impacts, effects and loss that
might result if the organization were to suffer a Business Continuity E/I/C. The findings from a BIA
are used to make decisions concerning Business Continuity Management strategy and solutions.
