Ux\u00eda Fern\u00e1ndez, Director of Business Continuity at Ozona, participated in the FACT24 Experience Week 2020 with the presentation Covid-19: \u00bfY si hubiera tenido un BIA actualizado?<\/a>, where she stressed the importance of an updated BIA when facing a crisis situation, such as the current covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The presentation took place on Thursday, June 18 at 11:00, and was held online.<\/p>\n

The BIA: A key element in business continuity<\/h2>\n


\nThe business impact analysis, or BIA, is a key element of any business continuity management system (BCMS). The first step an organization should take when conducting a BIA is to analyze and prioritize its products and services according to established parameters. Then, after making a selection of those considered critical, the organization obtains information about the processes, activities and resources necessary for their production and delivery. Finally,\u00a0 it identifies the processes, activities and resources that present the most critical aspects with the help of an impact matrix.<\/p>\n

The BIA will later become an input for the creation strategies and solutions that ensure the continuity of the organization’s most important products and services at a predetermined level for a reasonable period of time. Ultimately, business continuity plans based on these strategies and solutions are developed.<\/p>\n

It is very important that the organization update these plans periodically to ensure they remain effective, and the same happens with the BIA. After all, an outdated BIA can lead to selecting wrong strategies and solutions.<\/p>\n

Surely, the covid-19 pandemic has caught many organizations by surprise<\/a>. Some of them had no business continuity strategies or plans at all; others, however, did have business continuity plans in place, but these were based on outdated BIA information.<\/p>\n

In this sense, Ux\u00eda’s presentation focused on the importance of having updated BIA information in a crisis situation.<\/p>\n
