Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Training
£5250.00
INTRODUCTION
Business continuity management (BCM) is crucial for ensuring ongoing business operations in the face of disasters. It is essential for business survival. Proactive risk management through Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP) based on established management processes ensures sustainability. BCM safeguards your personnel, maintains essential business processes, and preserves your reputation.
Some risks cannot be eliminated, so understanding how to manage them without disrupting your business is essential. Organizations implement disaster recovery and Business Continuity Plans (BCP) to prepare for potential disruptive events. Both processes are equally important as they provide detailed strategies for continuing business operations after severe interruptions and disasters.
During a disaster, the business continuity plan helps the organisation function operationally. In contrast, the Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) outlines the company's preparedness for the disaster and the actions needed to restore operations.
This Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity training course offers a comprehensive understanding of what is necessary to prepare your business and organisation to manage major incidents or disasters that could adversely impact day-to-day operations. The workshop adheres to best practice frameworks to ensure that your response and recovery efforts are successful.
