The BIA’s Fatal Flaws

Host: The William Travis Group, Inc.

Presenter: Bill Bedsole, President

The goal of a traditional BIA is sound in theory—to identify and prioritize the business’ critical processes relative to the losses that would result from their interruption, and then to convince management to fund the most cost- and operationally-effective architecture to recover those processes in the aftermath of a disaster.

However, in practice, the BIA process repeatedly fails to produce the desired results and in virtually every instance we have seen, it delays and complicates the recovery planning process. We believe that there are at least ten fatal flaws in the traditional BIA process.

  1. Invented for the Wrong Reason
  2. Losses are Not Linear
  3. Probability is Not Predictable
  4. Criticality is Not Weighted
  5. Criticality is Not Aggregated
  6. The Wrong Solution Curve
  7. Close Isn’t Close Enough
  8. The Business Will Make Up the Difference
  9. RTO is a Dinosaur
  10. The Devil is in the Details
