Certified ISO 22301 Business Continuity Strategist (Disaster Recovery) (LIVE IN ATLANTA)

Learn ISO 31000 Enterprise Risk Management, and how to leverage the ISO 31000 standard to establish and maintain an ERM program for conducting risk assessments throughout the enterprise.

Then build-out the initial risk program policy right in class! 

A successful risk management initiative can affect the likelihood and consequences of risks materializing, as well as deliver benefits related to better informed strategic decisions, successful delivery of change and increased operational efficiency. Other benefits include reduced cost of capital, more accurate financial reporting, competitive advantage, improved perception of the organization, better marketplace presence and, in the case of public service organizations, enhanced political and community support. 

And since information security, business continuity/disaster recovery, environmental health and safety, and other critical management systems have the primary purpose of identifying and treating risk, it is essential that your organization establish a common platform and approach for managing risk.

Business Continuity Management

No two organizations are exactly alike. Even within the same industry and sector, every organization has unique goals, objectives, stakeholders, business processes, and risk tolerance. In order to craft incident response that best fits your organization's needs, you need to establish a system for ongoing understanding and management of those needs. Trying to develop business continuity and contingency procedures before determining what your organization needs the levels of risk it will tolerate, and the organization that will manage business continuity is akin to trying to author a book without first determining a plot. The foundation for business continuity management is established and documented in a business continuity management policy, and this class helps you create or improve that policy.
