In relation to Business Impact Analysis (BIA), why is the risk assessment conducted after the...

GPG 7.0 explains that Analysis (PP3) uses two techniques: BIA and Risk Assessment. The BIA determines the impacts of disruption over time and identifies priorities and resource requirements; then the risk assessment analyses the relevant risks to prioritised activities to find concentrations of risk or potential points of failure. This sequencing is logical: you first decide what matters most and what must be recovered (BIA outputs), and then you assess what could stop those priorities from being delivered (risk assessment focused on prioritised products/services/activities). That is exactly what option B states.

Option A may be a side benefit, but it is not the core methodological reason. Option C is not a BC good-practice rationale. Option D is incorrect because PP3 risk assessment is typically scoped to prioritised activities rather than being a generic “full organizational risk assessment.”
