Viewing BIA Computed Results
See the previous step: Performing a BIA.Once the IRM contributor has filled in the BIA matrix (Business Impact Analysis), the IRM Manager can view results and validate them.
The IRM Manager can modify computed results before validation. For more details, see Adjusting the RTO and Business Impact.To view BIA results:
2. In the BIA properties, select the Results page.
Computed indicators are displayed here:
Viewing the Computed RTO
The RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is the time frame identified for resuming disrupted activities.
The RTO displayed is computed from answers given in the BIA matrix.
RTO possible values are the downtime periods defined by the IRM functional administrator.For more details on the algorithm used, see RTO (Recovery Time Objective) Computation. View Computed Business Impact
A business impact is the outcome of a disruption.
The business impact displayed is computed from the answers given in the BIA matrix.
For more details on the algorithm used, see Business Impact Computation.Viewing the MTD (Maximum Tolerable Downtime)
The MTD (Maximum Tolerable Downtime) is obtained from the RTO and WRT.
For more details on:• RTO, see:Viewing the Computed RTO
• WRT, see:Entering the WRT (Work Recovery Time)
We have the following: MTD = WRT (Work Recovery Time) + RTO (Recovery Time Objective)
If the WRT is not specified, MTD = RTO
The MTD cannot be modified.
