An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Training
Ensuring Resilience Disaster Recovery and Continuity Essentials
CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
Business continuity management (BCM) ensures continued business operations in the face of disasters and is essential for business survival. Proactively managing risks through planning (BCP) and (DRP), based on time-tested management processes, assures sustainability. BCM ensures that your business will remain in operation in the most challenging times. It ensures the protection of your personnel, continued essential business processes, and preservation of your reputation.
Some risks can’t be eliminated, and thus you need to understand how to deal with it without impacting your business. Organisations implement disaster recovery and Business Continuity Plans (BCP) to prepare for any potential disruptive event and it is considered an essential part of any risk mitigation plan, both processes are equally important because they provide detailed strategies on how the business will continue after severe interruptions and disasters.
In the event of a disaster, the business continuity plan will help the organisation to operationally function. On the other hand, the Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) stipulates how the company is prepared for the disaster and what actions that need to be taken to ensure that operations can be restored.
This Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity training course will provide a clear understanding of what is required to ensure your business and organisation is prepared and ready to manage a major incident or disaster that could adversely impact your day to day operations. The workshop is aligned to best practice frameworks to ensure your response and ongoing recovery efforts are successful.
