The Critical Business Technology Assessment Program (CBTAP) provides guidance and tools to assist state executive branch agencies in performing a high-level business impact analysis of critical business functions. A business impact analysis is a first step towards business continuity and disaster recovery planning.

Performing the CBTAP business impact analysis will better prepare agencies to communicate critical agency needs for project funding, to understand the impact of a disaster on agency operations, and to know the risks in their current environment that require good mitigation strategies.
