Interested party and BIA

Can you assist me with these two quick questions:
1. How do you determine the relevant external parties within capture too much and their interest (is this directly to the company)?
2. As it relates to the BIA was are the critical focus of that evaluation?
 

Answers:

1.- To determine interested parties you need to ask your top executives, and/or heads of departments about who is important for the business, taking into account that an interested party can be an employee, owners of the business, regulators, clients, etc. To determine their interests you can also ask to each top executives and/or heads of departments, and yes, this is directly to the company.

2.- I am not sure if I have understood your question, but during the BIA basically you need to collecting information from the responsible persons of each activity (some information: impact assessment, assessment of RPO/Maximum Data Loss, Minimum Business Continuity Objectives, etc), after this, with all information acquired you need to make decisions.
