Re-engineering the Business Impact Analysis & Risk Assessment “Path to a Good Business Continuity Plan”

Description

Program Description

One of the most crucial objectives of management is to learn how to deal with the growing issues/ crises in the world that disrupt or degrade one’s core business objectives impacting the organization’s performance and reputation to its stakeholders.

Business Continuity Management is the process through which an organization ensures the maintenance or recovery of operations, including services to customers, when faced with disruptive events such as natural disasters, technological failures, human error or terrorism, pandemics, utility failures, and etc.

Business Continuity Management (BCM) starts with a Business Impact Assessment (BIA) followed thru with a comprehensive Risk Assessment of the threats that can impact one’s critical services.

This one-day program will help participants to identify the tools to carry out an effective BIA under ISO 22317: 2021 line with ISO 22301:2019 supported by a Risk Assessment aligned to ISO 31000:2019

Participants will learn to managing and coordinating a BIA, including defining objectives, performing a Business Impact Analysis (for identification of essential and non-essential services) and executing a Risk Assessment on identification of known / unknown threats with the selection of the appropriate controls for risk mitigation / avoidance / acceptance or transference.

The best practices of BCM implementation will be covered with using the ISO 22301, 22317 and ISO 31000 standards as the benchmark – providing necessary guidelines for successful implementation of a simple BCM framework in a step-by-step fashion.
