Products and services

The BIA object: what the organization delivers, what it earns, and what sustains it.

Updated on August 17, 2026

The central object

Products and services are what your organization delivers to the market, and they are the BIA's unit of analysis. The whole continuity chain converges here: a product has processes that sustain it, those processes depend on assets, and those assets depend on suppliers. Registering the product is what anchors everything else.

Revenue

Each product records a revenue model, a gross revenue figure, and the period that figure refers to — monthly or annual. This is not decorative bookkeeping: it is what lets the BIA's financial sphere estimate lost revenue from a real number the organization holds, rather than from a guess.

A product with no revenue recorded is still assessable — the other three BIA spheres keep working — but the financial sphere then depends on manual entry.

One assessment per product

Each product has exactly one BIA assessment attached. If the same product is delivered under very different conditions — regions with different regulation, for instance — it is worth registering them as separate objects, because the derived criticality will differ and a single assessment would have to choose between the two realities.
