Why each option
A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) documents the financial, operational, and reputational consequences of disruptions, making it the most detailed source for loss of earnings, fines, and customer service impacts.
A Business Impact Analysis specifically quantifies the potential financial losses, regulatory fines, and customer service consequences resulting from a major outage or business interruption. It is the foundational document used to identify and prioritize the impact of disruptions on business operations. Other recovery plans are derived from the BIA to guide response and restoration efforts.
An IT Contingency Plan focuses on procedures for resuming IT operations and does not document the detailed financial or business impact of a disruption.
A Disaster Recovery Plan outlines the technical steps to restore IT systems after a disaster, not the quantified business consequences of an outage.
Continuity of Operations plans address how to maintain essential functions during a disruption, not the detailed financial and reputational impact analysis.
