to deal with those risks your business is willing to accept.

Conduct a business impact analysis In conjunction with your risk assessment, you may also find it beneficial to conduct a DXC Business Impact Analysis. The Business Impact Analysis process works with your business areas to identify critical processes, services, dependencies and inter-dependencies.
Working with you, we also establish the financial and operational impacts due to an outage over defined periods of time. This service complements the risk analysis by defining the recovery time objective (acceptable per incident downtime) and recovery point objective (acceptable data loss) for each business process and supporting application. Just as important, it also provides a business justification for any additional investments needed.
DXC Risk Assessment is part of the analysis phase of the Business Continuity Services lifecycle. This full spectrum of proven business continuity solutions can help you reduce exposure and vulnerability, protect your mission-critical operations against diverse downtime threats and ease your recovery if a significant disruption event occurs.
