Business Impact Assessment
Scored 1 (negligible) to 5 (severe) across the six impact categories from the Phase I BIA scope.
Safety-project selection quality depends on it, but on planning timescales (weeks), not real time.
HSIP reporting and 23 U.S.C. 148 obligations; FARS timeliness commitments.
Crash records subject to discovery holds; 23 U.S.C. 407 protections must be preserved.
Stable SaaS; upstream SCDPS feed is the fragile element.
Recovery Objectives
Proposed via BIA- Minimum availability
- 99%
- Service window
- Business hours
Workaround Feasibility
Prior-year extracts support most analysis; new-record queries unavailable during outage.
