During a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) at a Hyderabad insurer, the team identifies the claims portal as a critical process. What is the primary purpose of the BIA in the business continuity lifecycle?
The BIA identifies critical business functions and measures the effect of their interruption, so that recovery priorities and objectives such as RTO and RPO can be set. It is an analytical step before plans are designed, not a testing or tool-selection exercise.
- ATo test the backup tapes for readability
- BTo identify critical functions and quantify the impact of their disruption so recovery priorities can be setCorrect
- CTo assign legal liability for a data breach to the board
- DTo select the antivirus software for all endpoints
Explanation
A BIA identifies critical processes, dependencies and the impact of downtime over time, which drives RTO and RPO targets and recovery priorities. Testing backups is a part of testing or maintenance. Liability assignment and antivirus selection are not BIA outcomes.
