EN The article deals with issues of the societal security, especially with the significant process Business Impact Analysis (BIA). It is the process of analysing the organization’s activities and impacts that may be caused by a disruption. The BIA is foundation of the whole process of Business Continuity Management (BCM) that is defined in the British Standard BS 25999 with updating into two new international standards: ISO 22301 (requirements) and ISO 22313 (guidance). By accepting and implementing these standards, the customers and clients can be assured that their business activities will be secured and prepared for treating impacts on the business continuity in the case of disruption. It consists of specific techniques and methods, that help with risk assessment (RA) in the situations, when an impact (structural, financial, economical etc.) could cause a disruption of the organization’s activities, stakeholders goodwill or supply of key products and services of the organization (critical activities). Part of the BIA is to establish minimum levels of resources needed to restore critical operations at fixed times and at certain levels. Expression “business” has in this context also reason “activity” not only reason connected with real business activities. Impact on the organization and their evolution over time is assessed according to the appropriate guidance. Selected guides must be appropriate for the organization; guides financial institutions will differ from the guideline government authority. Guidelines for impact assessment may be, for example, financial loss, the impact on service delivery, damage to or loss of reputation, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, etc. Conclusions from the impact analysis together with risk assessment on disruption of critical activities of an organization are the basis for business continuity management strategies that identify various options and ways to restore critical operations of the organization at the desired time in case of disruption. The BIA should be reviewed in regular intervals or when there are significant changes in the organization and the environment in which the organization operates.
