Perform BIA & Determine Time Criticality

With the Business Impact Analysis (BIA), you systematically assess the impact of disruptions on your business processes. The analysis defines time criticality as well as recovery objectives (RTO/RPO) and thus forms the foundation for business continuity management, IT security, and outsourcing management.

Why conducting a BIA is challenging

Business processes differ significantly in their criticality. Without a structured BIA, clear priorities for recovery, emergency measures, and investment decisions are missing. In practice, BIAs are often manual, inconsistent, and difficult to keep up to date.

Unclear time criticality

  • Critical and non-critical processes are not clearly delineated
  • The effects of failures are assessed inconsistently
  • Restart priorities are not clearly defined

Manual and complex methodology

  • BIAs are carried out using tables or individual queries
  • Process owners must make a lot of unclear inputs
  • Calculations are carried out manually and are prone to errors

High effort and limited timeliness

  • Changes to processes are not systematically taken into account
  • Key figures must be maintained multiple times
  • Versioning is difficult to understand during checks

Why can you implement BIA more efficiently with Leno

Many organizations carry out BIAs manually or with isolated tools. These approaches are complex, error-prone and barely scalable.

Important questions about business impact analysis

What you should know about BIA and time criticality with Leno


What is a business impact analysis (BIA)?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

The BIA assesses the effects of a failure of business processes as a function of the downtime and determines how quickly they must be recovered.

What does MTD or time criticality mean?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

The maximum tolerable downtime determines the time criticality of a process and describes when a failure of a process leads to intolerable damage.

What are RTO and RPO?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) defines the maximum tolerable downtime of a process.

RPO (Recovery Point Objective) describes the maximum tolerable loss of data, from which point in time a failure of a process leads to intolerable damage.

How often should a business impact analysis be updated?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

A business impact analysis should be reviewed regularly — at least once a year — and updated as needed. In addition, an occasional update is required, for example in the event of process adjustments, new dependencies or organizational changes. Leno supports the ongoing maintenance of the BIA and ensures that changes are taken into account consistently and comprehensibly.

How are BIA results being used in other areas?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

The BIA results form a central basis for business continuity management, IT security and outsourcing management. In Leno, the determined time criticalities and recovery goals can be directly reused and linked.
