Why should you attend?

No two disasters in the world cause equal damage. Between the unpredictability of natural disasters, information security breaches, and incidents of different nature, preparing for such events makes the difference between sustainable organizations and organizations that only work ad-hoc. Mitigating risks, avoiding consequences, and coping with the negative effects of disasters and incidents, while continuing operations requires detailed planning and preparation.

Organizations can improve their understanding and management of disasters, incidents, and risks by having a business continuity management system (BCMS) based on ISO 22301.

PECB has designed this training course to help participants to conduct this task as efficiently and effectively as possible.

After attending the eLearning training course, you can take the exam. If you successfully pass it, you can apply for a “PECB Certified ISO 22301 Lead Implementer” credential, which demonstrates your ability and practical knowledge to implement a BCMS based on the requirements of ISO 22301.
