ABSTRACT
What Is a Business Impact Analysis (BIA)? No, BIA is not a branch of the federal government that does covert security work, nor is it a medical procedure that you’re too embarrassed to mention to your family or friends. A BIA, or Business Impact Analysis, as the term implies, is an examination and determination of the impact of a catastrophe on a particular company or organization. Another way of putting it is that a BIA is the process of analyzing all business and production functions and the effect that a specific disaster may have upon them.
