ITPEC FE Morning October 2022 Question 58
ITPEC FE Morning October 2022 — Question 58 of 80
Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is the first phase of BCP development. Its purpose is to identify critical systems and determine the Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD) the business can withstand.
Option (b) — determining the maximum allowable downtime — is exactly what BIA does.
Why not others:
- (a) Educating personnel on recovery procedures — this is a training/implementation phase, done after the BCP is created
- (c) Testing BCP effectiveness — this is a verification/audit phase, also post-creation
- (d) Revising BCP for environmental changes — this is the maintenance/review phase
Key rule: BIA answers "what breaks and how critical is it?" — everything else (training, testing, revision) comes after the plan exists.
