Application Categories

• Keep it simple using three categories

  • 1 = essential to organization's ability to operate
  • 2 = significantly reduces the organization's capabilities or profitability
  • 3 = useful, but not important in the short term

• Restoring applications

  • Category 1, as soon as possible within limits specified by the BIA
  • Category 3, put to one side for consideration later
  • Category 2, do simple cost/benefit analysis to ensure response is appropriate to need
