Furthermore the CBCS certification ensures that you are qualified to develop strategic objectives including, but not limited to: - Determining and guiding the selection of alternative business recovery operating strategies for continuation of business within recovery time and/or recovery point objectives, while maintaining the organization's critical functions. - Delivering solutions for continuation of business within the recovery time and/or recovery point objectives, whilst maintaining the organization's critical functions. Developing, coordinating, evaluating and creating plans and procedures to communicate with internal stakeholders during incidents. - The provision of post-incident support and guidance for employees and their families.
