Update BIA HB Page - Align with Current-State

Nirmal Devarajan requested to merge ND-Update-BIA-HB-Page into main

Why is this change being made?

💡 Provide a detailed answer to the question on why this change is being proposed, in accordance with our value of Transparency.

What:

Why:

  • The current-state BIA program enables the following:

    • Helps determine the systems critical to serving GitLab’s Customers
    • Helps determine the prioritization of system restoration efforts in the event of a disruption

    A System's CST reflects the above and is recorded in the Tech Stack.

  • The current-state BIA program is not at the appropriate level of maturity to enable efficient creation of BIA Observations. For example, the current-state program does not have a Single Source of Truth for BIA data.

  • In the interim, I believe our team helping implement Okta SSO configuration for New Systems (during onboarding) is a significant value-add. It also mitigates the Access Management risk.
