[P2] Impact Area Of Business Functions
The objective is to determine the level of criticality these sub-CBFs bear on the organisation’s Minimum Business Continuity Objective (MBCO) and to quantify potential monetary losses and cascading effects in the event of a disruption.
Through this structured assessment, Bandtree aims to prioritise recovery efforts and implement resilience strategies to safeguard business continuity and long-term value creation.
