It means being prepared to deal with all forms of disruption of ?Business As Usual.' This could save your organization from potential damage. Damage in lost revenues, unnecessary expenses, claims from clients or third parties, and last but not least our reputation as a solid and reliable company. These disruptions could be caused by anything from a power failure, fire, IT breakdown, to a terrorist attack. Performing a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is part of Business Continuity Management. A BIA identifies all key business processes and establishes the recovery priorities, should those processes be disrupted or lost. This product includes 2 in-depth questionnaires related to properly and comprehensively conducting Business Impact Analysis across your organization. Both are completely modifiable in MS Word. The first BIA template is 11 page and previewed above. It captures the following core areas: * Business function details * Key business processes * Management sign-off * Impact assessment (financial loss, reputation damage, regulatory/legal non-compliance) * Dependency analysis * Recovery profile analysis (application requirements, recovery site and remote access requirements, vital records requirements, etc.) The second BIA template is 4 pages and included with this purchase.

3. SECTION 6 – RECOVERY PROFILE ANALYSIS
APPLICATIONS REQUIREMENTS FOR KEY BUSINESS PROCESSES
List the critical applications that are required to complete your Unit’s/ Department’s key business processes.
Recovery Time Objective – RTO
The time in which you require your defined critical services to be recovered, measured from time of disaster to resumption of operations.
Recovery Point Objective – RPO
To enable successful resumption of your business functions, you require IT to restore data onto the back-up systems at the Business Recovery site. The data point restored will be
dependent on the back-up data available. Any transactions/ data lost and not available from backup media may need to be recaptured (if available) and reprocessed.
If loss of current transactions/data is not critical to you, or recapture/ re-input is no problem, then this will extend the RPO.
If loss of current transactions/data is critical to you, or recapture/ re-input is difficult, then this will reduce the RPO.
