Supplies, especially those kept off-site for disaster recovery or business continuity purposes, are physical assets. If these supplies are essential for the organization to continue its operations after a disruption, they would be considered in a BIA.
Physical assets in a BIA include D. Supplies kept off-site at a remote facility, as they are tangible resources critical for business continuity and disaster recovery.
The correct answer to question #1 is D. Supplies kept off-site at a remote facility.
Physical assets in the context of a BIA are any tangible resources that are essential to the operation of a business. This can include things like:
Buildings and infrastructure
Equipment and machinery
Inventories and supplies
Data and records
Supplies kept off-site at a remote facility would fall into this category, as they are essential to the business' ability to operate in the event of a disruption at its primary location.
The other answer choices are incorrect:
A. Personal belongings of organizational staff members are not considered business assets, as they are not essential to the operation of the business.
B. Disaster recovery (DR) line-item revenues are not physical assets, but rather financial assets.
C. Cloud-based applications are not considered physical assets, as they are not tangible resources.
The correct answer is D.
Explanation: Physical assets defined in an organization's business impact analysis (BIA) could include supplies kept off-site at a remote facility. A BIA is a process that identifies an organization's critical business processes and the resources required to support them. Physical assets such as buildings, equipment, and inventory are typically identified in a BIA, as they are critical to the organization's ability to continue operating in the event of a disruption.
