All of the following items should be included in a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) questionnaire EXCEPT questions that

A BIA is specifically designed to analyze the impact and consequences of a business interruption after it occurs, not to determine the probability or risk likelihood of one happening. Assessing the likelihood of a disruption is the function of a Risk Assessment or Risk Analysis process, which is a distinct activity performed separately from the BIA. Including risk probability questions would conflate two separate disciplines within business continuity planning.

Identifying technological dependencies of business processes is a standard BIA component, as it helps determine which IT systems and infrastructure are critical to operations and must be recovered to restore business functions.

Identifying operational impacts - such as loss of productivity, inability to deliver services, or staffing disruptions - is a core purpose of the BIA questionnaire and directly informs recovery priorities.

Quantifying financial impacts, such as lost revenue, contractual penalties, or increased costs resulting from a disruption, is a fundamental objective of the BIA and is used to justify recovery investments and set recovery time objectives.
