The CBCI 7.0 course explains that anActivity Business Impact Analysis (BIA)provides detailed identification of dependencies necessary to deliver prioritized products and services. This includes internal dependencies such as departments and resources, and external dependencies such as suppliers and partners. Mapping these dependencies is crucial to understanding potential vulnerabilities and planning continuity solutions that address both internal process interrelations and supply chain considerations. The Product and Services BIA focuses more on outcomes and impacts, while risk assessments identify threats but do not detail operational dependencies. Initial assessments are broader and less detailed.
