The analysis that identifies an organization's critical activities and the effect over time of their disruption, setting the basis for recovery priorities.
A Business Impact Analysis identifies the activities that matter most and measures how the impact of losing them grows over time. It establishes which activities are time-critical and the resources they depend on.
Its outputs, including recovery priorities and objectives such as RTO and RPO, drive the design of continuity strategies and plans. The BIA is the analytical foundation of a BCMS under ISO 22301.
