Introduction
Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is a management tool with the objective of analyzing the processes of a business, understanding the impact of the inactivity time, and establishing recovery objectives.
The results observed through BIA analysis are the starting point for business continuity management.
It is possible to carry out such analysis using SoftExpert Suite. The initial configurations of the analysis are performed through the Risk component, but it is possible to enable and execute the evaluation from the process data screen.
