Summary

Hide ▲

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is a structured approach to identifying and evaluating the operational impact of disruptions across departments. It is essential for building a robust Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) strategy. BIAs help identify critical functions for a business's operations and survival, informing key priorities such as Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO). IT leaders play a crucial role in enabling effective BIAs by providing visibility into system dependencies and infrastructure, validating recovery commitments, and operationalizing recovery strategies. BIAs involve identifying threat vectors, assessing the impact of downtime, defining RTOs and RPOs, prioritizing systems and data, and documenting dependencies. Datto BCDR solutions turn BIA insights into automated, repeatable recovery actions, ensuring resilience and operational continuity.
