Explanation:
The detailed steps of carrying out a business impact analysis are shown
below:
. Select individuals to interview for data gathering.
. Create data-gathering techniques (surveys, questionnaires, qualitative and
quantitative approaches).
. Identify the company’s critical business functions.
. Identify the resources these functions depend upon.
. Calculate how long these functions can survive without these resources.
. Identify vulnerabilities and threats to these functions.
. Calculate the risk for each different business function.
. Document findings and report them to management.
According to your answer, the step you say is 4th is actually 5th. Is the answer wrong or was the question wrong? Your answer says the 4th step is “Identify the resources these functions depend on”.
I should have said according to your “explanation” , the answer you say is correct is actually the 5th step, not the 4th. Your explanation says that the 4th step is “Identify the resources these functions depend on”.
Thanks
