# Digital Business Impact Analysis > A customisable, real-time platform that maps business vulnerabilities and third-party risks, digitising business impact analysis with automation, GenAI, and CPS 230 alignment. *This content is available in full at: https://www.fixinc.io/technology/business-impact-analysis* The Digital Business Impact Analysis software helps organisations digitise and streamline their business impact analysis with a platform designed for risk visibility, regulatory alignment, and real-time reporting. The tool is supported by the Fixinc team with integrated AI capabilities. ## Functionality This tool was designed with resilience professionals in mind, including business continuity managers, crisis managers, ITDR leads, and risk managers. It simplifies the process of collecting, managing, and presenting business impact data, converting spreadsheet-based models into a user-friendly interface built for collaboration. The platform supports BIA workshops, regulatory preparation, and continuity plan validation, providing the structure and clarity needed for efficient decision-making. ## Implementation Process Fixinc configures the platform to match organisational structure and continuity requirements, starting with org chart and key documentation review. The team then supports interviews and data collection across departments to build the BIA in real time. Every critical function, resource, dependency, and third party is captured and scored. The system aligns recovery priorities, regulatory requirements such as CPS 230, and system linkages in a format that can be maintained after initial implementation. ## Platform Capabilities The Digital BIA provides dynamic, secure, and intelligent functionality: - **GenAI features**: Process large data sets, identify gaps, and surface insights - **Third and fourth-party risk tracking**: Full visualisation of supply chain and vendor dependencies - **Tailored reporting**: Support for internal briefings and regulatory audits - **Real-time updates**: Platform adapts during actual events or during maintenance periods - **Integrations and training**: Standard inclusions with 24/7 support ## Key Features ### Real-World Disruption Mapping Capture business unit vulnerabilities and exposure to evolving threats, enabling scenario-based planning grounded in real operating conditions. ### System-Led Analysis Map critical processes, resources, and third-party risks in a streamlined interface built for scale, clarity, and data-backed decision-making. ### Accessibility Whether in a workshop, audit, or real event, the BIA is available in real time, customised to organisational structure and accessible from anywhere. ## Platform Development - **Practitioner-led**: Every tool is designed by resilience professionals with decades of field experience - **Built on best practice**: All solutions align to the latest standards in business continuity, crisis management, and ITDR - **Global development team**: Engineers operate across New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Germany, and the United Kingdom - **Monthly updates**: Continuous updates based on client needs and shifting global threats ## Access and Demonstrations Fixinc does not offer instant subscriptions to tools. Without a certain level of resilience maturity, the Digital Business Impact Analysis alone may not deliver full value. Implementation without appropriate maturity assessment can result in wasted time and budget. All engagements begin with a discovery call and tailored demonstration to assess fit and determine suitability. In some cases, a 30-day access period is available to explore the platform before making a decision. ## FAQs ### How fast can organisations become compliant? Fixinc can onboard org charts, build initial BIAs, and train teams within weeks. Most clients are CPS 230 audit-ready within 30 days, with support available to maintain compliance year-round. ### What is a Business Impact Analysis and why is it critical for CPS 230? A BIA identifies an organisation's most critical processes, systems, and dependencies and determines the real impact if they go offline. Under CPS 230, APRA requires that these impacts be clearly documented and kept up to date. ### What makes this different from spreadsheet-based BIAs? Spreadsheets create version control issues and data management challenges. The Digital BIA tool eliminates these issues, centralises third-party risk mapping, and links BIAs directly to plans and frameworks in one location with real-time updates. ### How does this tool support CPS 230 compliance? The Digital BIA tool automates evidence-gathering and documentation required by CPS 230. It captures Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs), third-party dependencies, and Maximum Tolerable Downtimes (MTDs), and tracks changes over time to maintain an audit trail. ### Is this only for Business Continuity teams? The tool is designed for resilience leads, IT teams, risk managers, and procurement teams. Anyone responsible for understanding and managing operational disruption and third-party risk can utilise the platform, which is particularly relevant under CPS 230 requirements. ## Related Resources - [Business Impact Analysis Service](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/business-impact-analysis.md): Advisory services for conducting business impact assessments - [F24 Platform](https://docs.fixinc.io/technology/f24.md): Crisis management platform used by over 3,000 organisations globally for emergency management, team mobilisation, and real-time response - [CPS 230 Compliance](https://docs.fixinc.io/service/cps230.md): Regulatory compliance support services - [ISO 22301 Accreditation](https://docs.fixinc.io/service/iso22301.md): International standard certification support --- **View this page online:** https://www.fixinc.io/technology/business-impact-analysis For program inquiries: [Contact Fixinc](https://www.fixinc.io/contact) | info@fixinc.org | +64 800 349 462
