Business Impact Analysis

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) Assessment:

A Business Impact Analysis assessment reveals how disruptions impact your business and what you need to stay operational. An ENTERDAWN Resilience / Business Continuity Specialist will work closely with key departments to identify business processes, determine their recovery time frames and document the resources necessary to execute each business process effectively during a disruption.

Our Methodology

All Business Impact Analysis assessments are conducted using ENTERDAWN’s proprietary 13-step BIA Strategic Framework, aligned with leading industry standards such as NIST SP 800-34 Rev. 1 (Contingency Planning Guide for Federal Information Systems) and ISO 22317 (Guidelines for Business Impact Analysis). Our methodology is tailored to each client’s sector, operational structure, and resilience maturity.
