In order for an organization to develop an effective business continuity plan or disaster
recovery plan, it must know what information assets it has, their impact on business
operations, and the criticality and priorities associated with the information systems and assets.
The primary objective of a business impact analysis (BIA) is to identify the assets that are
required for continued business operations in the event of an incident or disaster. Thus, a
critical step in the development of an effective BIA includes establishing component priorities
and determining component reliance and dependencies. Additionally, organizational personnel
must know their responsibilities during recovery efforts.

Business functions and processes
BIA scenarios and components
Financial and service impact of components not being available
Recovery time frameworks
Describe the methods for determining component reliance and dependencies, including:
Component dependencies
Resources required to recover component in the event of failure
Human assets needed to recover components

efforts.
