An Intensive 5-day Training Course
ISO IEC 22301
Business Continuity
INTRODUCTION
Business Continuity Planning, as defined by the ISO/IEC 22301 standard, is the systematic process of building and enhancing organisational resilience. It involves the critical task of identifying your key products and services, along with the most urgent activities that support them. Once this vital analysis is complete, the focus shifts to devising robust plans and strategies that will enable your business to continue operations and recover swiftly and effectively from any disruption, regardless of its scale or origin.
The ISO/IEC 22301 standard provides a solid, internationally recognized framework to utilise during a crisis, offering much-needed stability and security. This standard is not exclusively for those new to the business continuity profession, nor is it solely for the most seasoned experts. Instead, it is written for a broad audience, including everyone within an organisation who has a role in mitigating risks associated with disruptive incidents. Embedding a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) based on ISO/IEC 22301 brings proven additional benefits, enhancing overall organisational agility. The key to minimising impact is time; the organisation that recovers the quickest will optimally mitigate its financial, operational, and reputational losses.
Participants attending this ISO IEC 22301 Course will develop the following competencies:
- A comprehensive understanding of all ten stages of the BCM Life Cycle as outlined in the ISO 22301 standard.
- The ability to adopt proven techniques for conducting rigorous risk assessments and reducing potential business impacts.
- Practical knowledge on how to construct, validate, and maintain effective, actionable Business Continuity Plans.
- Insights to facilitate the strengthening of cyber resilience within the broader BCMS framework.
- An understanding of international BCM best practices and how to apply them for certification and continuous improvement.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
This Business Continuity Training Course, based on ISO/IEC 22301, aims to provide participants with the knowledge to establish a compliant BCMS, enabling them to achieve the following objectives:
- Develop comprehensive threat and vulnerability assessments, including a detailed Business Impact Analysis (BIA).
- Identify and select cost-effective continuity strategies for restoring critical functions within their Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs).
- Gain a solid understanding of Business Continuity Planning "Best Practices" as defined by the international standard.
- Design and conduct exercises to effectively coordinate Crisis Management actions with Business Continuity Plan activation.
- Understand how to generate and maintain ongoing senior management support and commitment for the BCMS program.

TRAINING SUMMARY
This training course provides comprehensive coverage of all ten stages of the BCM Life Cycle as prescribed by ISO/IEC 22301, using practical case studies to illustrate key concepts. It is a practical, 'lessons learned' event that trains participants in both the "best practices" for implementation and the "best principles" underpinning the standard.
Participants will leave with a clear roadmap for developing, implementing, and maintaining a BCMS that not only meets the requirements for ISO 22301 certification but also genuinely enhances their organisation's ability to withstand and recover from disruptions, thereby safeguarding its future.
