Business impact analysis (BIA) is a systematic process to determine and evaluate the potential effects of an interruption to critical business operations as a result of a disaster, accident or emergency. A BIA is an essential component of an organization's business continuance plan; it includes an exploratory component to reveal any vulnerabilities and a planning component to develop strategies for minimizing risk.

Firstly, Disaster Recovery, this is a procedure that needs to be implemented in the case an accident occurs within an organisation that may result in the loss of data, for example fire/ water damage. This is when a plan needs to be applied to allow the recovery of data; an example of this could be recovering the backup files, installing new equipment and uploading the backup on the new network. For this to be effective this recovery policy relies on backups to be done regularly, otherwise recovery would not be eligible. The disaster recovery policy is highly beneficial and important as it saves not only the organisation but their money and reputation.

There will be a disaster plan in place for such things as floods, storms, of equipment failure. All customer information will be backed up and on a secure network and system with password protected group policies.
