Business impact analysis survey

The business impact analysis (BIA) is a crucial element in the business continuity manager's toolkit, but evidence suggests that the way the BIA is being used, conducted and managed may be changing.

18 months ago Continuity Central conducted a survey to discover the ways in which individual companies are handling BIAs. The results were reported here.

We are now running the survey again, to ascertain if the trends identified have continued and to see whether new developments are taking place.

This anonymous survey should take no more than ten minutes of your time. Your participation is greatly appreciated and it will help us provide free information which will help the wider business continuity community.
