Impact Analysis: A process used to understand the potential consequences of a change in a system, application, or another component of an organization’s operations. Impact analysis can be used in various contexts, such as assessing the potential effects of a security incident or evaluating the implications of a new policy or process. It aids in decision-making, planning, and risk management, helping to identify potential risks, required resources, and strategies for minimizing negative effects.
