Program Overview
Train to audit a Business Continuity Management System against ISO 22301, including Business Impact Analysis, risk assessment, continuity strategies, exercise programs and recovery objectives — across supply chain, infrastructure and natural-disaster scenarios.
Syllabus
Day 1 Schedule
BCMS Foundations & Scope
ISO 22301 in Annex SL form, BCMS scoping, and the difference between BCM, DR and crisis management.
Business Impact Analysis & Risk Assessment
Workshop on BIA quality: prioritised activities, dependencies, MTPD/MBCO/RTO/RPO and assumption traceability.
Continuity Strategies & Plans
How to audit selection of strategies, plan content, decision-making authority, and communication trees.
Day 2 Schedule
Exercising, Testing & Lessons Learned
Differentiate awareness exercises, walkthroughs, simulations and live failover tests — and sample each.
Supply Chain, Cyber-Physical & Pandemic Scenarios
Audit dependencies on critical suppliers, cloud providers, energy and transport, and pandemic-style mass-absence scenarios.
