Building a Business Impact Analysis Process
>table of contents

by Barry Cordoza
A Hands-on Blueprint. Leads you step-by-step through compiling a BIA, the first step in a meaningful Business Continuity Plan. FREE CD. Excerpt from Author's Introduction: This is the book that I wish I had when I was first told that I needed to do a company-wide Business Impact Analysis (BIA). At that time, few regulatory guidelines referred to the BIA. Those that did refer to the BIA did not specify what a BIA should contain, much less how to go about putting one together. Few case studies had been published. Classes on the topic were as rare as real estate bargains in Manhattan. What did become apparent was that (1) the BIA would be something very different to each individual company, and (2) no best practices had been established. The stakeholders (executive management, regulators, audit, etc.) are probably the reason you are doing a BIA in the first place. If they are not happy with the results of your BIA, you will not be happy either. However, the BIA is not just about satisfying requirements. The most important goal of the BIA should be to provide your company with a solid foundation of information upon which you can build a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan.

>table of contents

by Larry Collins, Thomas D. Schneid
By watching the daily news or reading a newspaper, we quickly understand that disasters happen regularly.

Disaster Management and Preparedness details a new and innovative method for preparing companies and organizations to address the substantial risk of disasters in the workplace. It encompasses not only the tried and true tactics used by safety experts for decades but also focuses on areas often overlooked during the reactive and post disaster phases.

From natural disasters to acts of terrorism, you never know when something catastrophic will happen to your organization. But once it does, it is too late to go hunting for a plan of action. Be prepared. Be proactive. Make your disaster management plan before disaster strikes. Disaster Management and Preparedness gives you the how-tos for avoiding the common mistakes which turn natural and man-made catastrophes into economic disasters.
