Business impact analysis: Keeping critical impact in perspective

Author

Abstract

Business impact analysis (BIA) is a relatively new science. Widely recognised standards and best practices have not yet evolved. There is a great deal of debate about both what a BIA should include and how it should be performed. However, defining ‘critical impact’ and then determining how to keep that definition in perspective is essential to any BIA process. This paper leads the reader through key considerations regarding how the BIA itself can determine what is truly critical, keep the definition of critical impact in perspective for the institution as a whole, and continuously adjust the definition of critical impact to the dynamics of an ever-changing institution.
