Leadership wants to buy a hot site immediately and skip the BIA to 'save time.' What sequencing should the risk manager recommend?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Buying a spare mansion before you know which rooms you live in is expensive guesswork. The BIA tells you what must come back first and how fast. Let impact analysis steer the hot-site spend, not the other way around.
Full Explanation
Business impact analysis identifies which functions, dependencies, and timeframes justify recovery investment. Jumping to a hot-site purchase without that grounding risks overbuying unused capacity or underprotecting true priorities. BIA-before-design sequencing improves both cost discipline and operational resilience.
