Create a table view (Excel or Word) that includes key company assets and functions that are necessary for the business to continue operations following a disaster; prioritize these using a "weighted decision matrix"; identify existing threats or risks present; recommendations and/or existing mitigations; impacts should be quantified in terms of dollars from lost sales, property damage, increased expenses, etc.
The risk assessment will address the following objectives:
- Identify company assets and functions that are necessary for the business to continue operations following a disaster. These assets and functions will be prioritized according to the time in which they are needed and how critical they are to the business function.
- For each asset and function identify existing threats or risks present. The risk assessment will identify the approaches to be implemented for elimination of avoidable risks and the minimization of the risks that are unavoidable.
