The IT environment consists of five (5) servers and 120 computers, 32 of which are laptops. The facility has five (5) stack switches located throughout the building, all connecting to an eight-port GIGAswitch. The CIO of the company informs you that their operations involve daily transmission of a huge amount of data and transactions. These systems require high levels of data protection and availability to ensure business resiliency in the event of an interruption and comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations.

Perform a risk assessment to identify and analyze at least five (5) risks (technical and / or unique to the geography) that can potentially impact the organization.
Examine the primary and secondary impacts of an interruption in normal operations in a business impact analysis (BIA) for the risks identified. Use a chart to represent your BIA. Click here to access the BIA template.
Create a fault-tolerant, secured, and highly available disaster recovery plan in which you include cloud components. Depict graphically the network architecture layout of your plan using Visio or an open source tool such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
Develop a business continuity plan for the risks you have identified in Question 1.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
