DESCRIPTION
Managing all the aspects of the business to ensure business continuity is referred to as Business Continuity Management. 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.
This Word document also includes sections for Acknowledgement, where line managers can sign off on the accuracy of the information provided, ensuring accountability and thorough review. The Applications Requirements for Key Business Processes section helps delineate critical applications and their respective Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO). This is essential for prioritizing recovery efforts. The Minimum Required Network Connections, Workstations, and Remote Access Requirements section ensures that your team has the necessary infrastructure to maintain operations during a disruption. This comprehensive approach ensures no stone is left unturned in your Business Impact Analysis.
