The template is meant only as a basic guide and may not apply equally to all systems.  The user may modify this template or the general BIA approach as required to best accommodate the specific system.  In this template, words in italics are for guidance only and should be deleted from the final version.  Regular (non-italic) text is intended to remain.\n1.\tOverview\nThis Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is developed as part of the contingency planning process for the {system name}{system acronym}.  It was prepared on {insert BIA completion date}.\n1.1\tPurpose\nThe purpose of the BIA is to identify and prioritize system components by correlating them to the mission/business process(es) the system supports, and using this information to characterize the impact on the process(es) if the system were unavailable.\nThe BIA is composed of the following three steps:\nDetermine mission/business processes and recovery criticality.  Mission/business processes supported by the system are identified and the impact of a system disruption to those processes is determined along with outage impacts and estimated downtime.  The downtime should reflect the maximum that an organization can tolerate while still maintaining the mission.\nIdentify resource requirements.  Realistic recovery efforts require a thorough evaluation of the resources required to resume mission/business processes and related interdependencies as quickly as possible.  Examples of resources that should be identified include facilities, personnel, equipment, software, data files, system components, and vital records.\nIdentify recovery priorities for system resources.  Based upon the results from the previous activities, system resources can more clearly be linked to critical mission/business processes.  Priority levels can be established for sequencing recovery activities and resources.\nThis document is used to build the {system name} Information System Contingency Plan (ISCP) and is included as a key component of the ISCP.  It also may be used to support the development of other contingency plans associated with the system, including, but not limited to, the Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) or Cyber Incident Response Plan.\n2.\tSystem Description\nProvide a general description of system architecture and functionality.  Indicate the operating environment, physical location, general location of users, and partnerships with external organizations/systems.  Include information regarding any other technical considerations that are important for recovery purposes, such as backup procedures.  Provide a diagram of the architecture, including inputs and outputs and telecommunications connections.\nNote: Information for this section should be available from the system’s System Security Plan (SSP) and can be copied from the SSP, or reference the applicable section in the SSP and attach the latest version of the SSP to this contingency plan.\n3.\tBIA Data Collection\nData collection can be accomplished through individual/group interviews, workshops, email, questionnaires, or any combination of these.\n3.1\tDetermine Process and System Criticality\nStep one of the BIA process - Working with input from users, managers, mission/business process owners, and other internal or external points of contact (POC), identify the specific mission/business processes that depend on or support the information system.\nIf criticality of mission/business processes has not been determined outside of the BIA, the following subsections will help to determine criticality of mission/business processes that depend on or support the information system.\n3.1.1\tIdentify Outage Impacts and Estimated Downtime\nThis section identifies and characterizes the types of impact categories that a system disruption is likely to create in addition to those identified by the FIPS 199 impact level, as well as the estimated downt","cbCainEnM9CKjzlc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainEnM9CKjzlc","docx",28783,"English","# Overview\n## Purpose\n# System Description\n# BIA Data Collection\n## Determine Process and System Criticality\n## Identify Outage Impacts and Estimated Downtime","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) in this template?\",\"answer\":\"It identifies and prioritizes system components by mapping them to mission/business processes, then characterizes impacts if the system is unavailable.
