business impact analysis  

Definition

  • The business impact analysis (BIA) is a core component of any business continuity plan, or business continuity management system. The business impact analysis does exactly what it says: it assesses the impact to a business during a disruption, whether it is a denial of access due to loss of buildings or being unable to enter premises; loss of key systems, due to loss of information technology (IT), telecommunications, or Internet connection; or loss of key personnel, such as board members or key members of staff.
