Assets
Resources are a hierarchy that must be allocated to a division. Resources must be defined, and should follow a hierarchical classification scheme. The default categories are: Equipment, Information, Peoples, Premises, Suppliers and Technology. Each of these can then be further expanded on to allow resources to be grouped together e.g. ‘Technology’ could be split into ‘Hardware’ and ‘Software’.
Resources should be defined before starting the BIA. This ensures that all activities pick resources from the same list. If a resource is initially missed, this can be added during the BIA. However, only an organisation administrator can add resources at this point.
Creating a New Resource
There are two ways to create a new resource. Either:- Click ‘Create New Resource’ (highlighted red in Figure 14 - Resource Hierarchy)
- Navigate to the resource type then click ‘New Child Resource’ (highlighted red in Figure 15 – Add, Amend or Delete Resource Form) i.e. to create a new ‘People’ resource, click ‘People’ within the hierarchy and click ‘New Child Resource’. Either approach will open the same ‘Resource form’.
