Mr. Newbie is working on a Risk Assessment. The Risk Assessment identifies key threats to the business, such as floods or terrorist attacks, and then ranks them based on factors such as likelihood of occurrence and severity should the event actually occur.
The Risk Assessment evaluates potential threats and ranks them while the Business Impact Analysis focuses on the different processes within the business and how they will recover should a crisis occur. While they are both key foundations for creating a successful Business Continuity Plan, they are two distinct and separate analyses.
