01Section 1: Introduction to Business Continuity Management (BCM)
Learners will explore key differences between business continuity, disaster recovery, and emergency response, and understand the profound impact disruptions can have on organizations—financially, reputationally, legally, and operationally.
02Section 2: Identifying Threats and Understanding Business Impact
Employees will gain the skills to recognize and assess common threats that may disrupt operations, such as cyber-attacks, ransomware, natural disasters (like floods and earthquakes), power failures, supply chain disruptions, and pandemics.
03Section 3: Core Components of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
Learners will dive into the components that make up an effective Business Continuity Plan (BCP). This includes identifying the organization's critical processes and systems, establishing Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO), and understanding the roles of different stakeholders during activation.
04Section 4: Understanding Roles and Responsibilities During a Crisis
Learners will also understand the importance of departmental coordination, and walk through simulated disruption scenarios to choose the appropriate course of action, based on their assigned roles.
05Section 5: Effective Response to Incidents
This section focuses on immediate action steps required in the event of a crisis. Topics include incident notification, initial responses, personal safety protocols (such as evacuation and lockdown procedures), and how to access and implement the BCP.
06Section 6: Recovery and Post-Incident Procedures
The recovery phase is just as crucial as the initial response. This module covers the steps involved in resuming services and restoring operations, such as data and system recovery protocols.
