Business Continuity Planning, is emphasized in this course which will enable you to construct a BCMS, to enable you organization to identify and address any risks to its business continuity. This involves analyzing the risks to determine the extent to which
measures taken may protect the organization. Part of Business Continuity Planning is to create formal documentation to record the actions that are needed in the event of an incident (called an Incident Management Plan or, formerly, a Disaster Recovery Plan.
This will include the actions, timescales, responsibilities, and resources required following an indicent.
To effectively plan for potential disruption to mission-critical operations, it is necessary to first identify those operations. This course helps you understand this point of view and implement prevention and recovery techniques in a systematic and effective
way.
Why should I be concerned about Business Continuity Planning (BCP)?
Recent global and political events have made businesses aware of their need to anticipate and respond to potential threats. The International Standards Organization (ISO) has recognized the need for a holistic approach to BCP with the introduction of its BCP
