Business Impact Analysis: Know, what's critical - before the auditor asks

When an audit puts Business Continuity on the agenda, the same scramble begins every time. Which processes are critical? How long can you tolerate an outage? What does recovery actually look like? For most companies, the honest answer lives in a spreadsheet no one has touched in months.

The problem isn't the spreadsheet. The problem is that no one notices when it goes out of date — until it's too late.

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is now available.

You run assessments directly inside Kertos: evaluate processes, document recovery objectives, define time periods. MTPD is calculated automatically — no manual formulas. When a review period expires, Kertos creates a task. Your BIA doesn't go stale without anyone noticing.

What changes for your team

A BIA sitting in a shared folder doesn't help anyone in an audit. One that sits next to your controls, policies, and tasks in Kertos does.

The guided assessment flow explains RPO, RTO, and MTPD inline — so non-specialists can complete it without a glossary open in a separate tab. Scales and thresholds adapt to your existing risk framework.

What's in this release

BIA covers the full assessment flow including recovery targets and automatic review tasks.

Try it now: Business Impact Analysis is available as a new tab in the navigation bar.
