What Is a Business Impact Analysis (BIA)? | TecnetOne

A BIA (business impact analysis) is the analysis that identifies which processes are critical to a company and how much damage a disruption of hours or days would cause. It is used to set recovery objectives, such as RTO (how long a process can be down) and RPO (how much data the company can afford to lose), and the priorities of the continuity plan.
