BIA identifies the organisations mission critical activities, their dependencies and single points of failure taking into account the time sensitivity of each disruption, interruption or loss and this will determine the Recovery Time Objectives (RTO), Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and the Level of Business Continuity (LBC). BIA is the foundation on which all Business Continuity Management is based. It is a linear process and consists of techniques and methodologies that can be used to identify, quantify and qualify the business impacts and their effects on an organisation due to the loss, interruption or disruption of a MCAs. It further identifies the minimum level of resources required to enable an organisation to achieve its RTO and RPO for an MCA. The key to BIA is the recognition that it needs to be conducted and analysed in an end-to-end business service/product context.
