ABSTRACT
The initial version of this chapter was written for the 1999 edition of the Information Security Management Handbook. Since then, E-commerce has seized the spotlight and Web-based technologies are the emerging solution for almost everything. The constant throughout these occurrences is that no matter what the climate, fundamental business processes have changed little. And, as always, the focus of any business impact assessment is to assess the time-critical priority of these business processes. With these more recent realities in mind, this chapter has been updated and is now offered for the reader’s consideration.
