Imagine this scenario: Gail Industries’ TPS failed, and you need to complete a business impact analysis (BIA) and an information systems contingency plan (ISCP). Review the Gail Industries Case Stud

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) Outline Template

In this assignment, you’ll complete a BIA outline for critical issues that would need to be addressed in preparing a contingency plan to send to management for approval. You will provide information about a potential failure and identify the key parts of hardware, network, and security to ensure the protection of the data and the critical impacts that the business may suffer due to the loss of the TPS to support collections processing referenced in the Gail Industries Case Study.

Use the template below to complete a BIA outline by providing the following information for each corresponding section:

• Overview: Use the text provided and fill in the prompts with specific information about your assignment.

• Purpose: Use the text provided and fill in the prompts with specific information about your assignment. Then, complete this section by describing how the BIA will determine the business impact of system and/or service outages.

• System criticality: Based on input from company stakeholders, identify the specific mission/business processes that depend on or support the information system.

• IT infrastructure dependencies: Include the network and cloud (Amazon Web Services™) components.

• Impacts: Provide information about the business impact on company operations using the input from company stakeholders. Then, provide information about downtime and outage impacts from a collection processing services outage.

• Maximum tolerable downtime (MTD)/recovery time objective (RTO)/recovery point objective (RPO) determination: Potential items to include in this section could be the TPS, network components, and cloud components.
