Annual BS 25999 Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Training in Kingston, Jamaica in July.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 21, 2010 -- Your revenues are important

Continued operations in the event of a business disruption, whether due to a major disaster or a minor incident, are a fundamental requirement for any organization. Ensuring operational continuity has led to the development of Business Continuity Management (BCM) as a recognized business discipline, but not until the recent publication of BS 25999 has there been an internationally-recognized management framework that adds consistency, credibility and viability to your existing BCM programs.

What is BS 25999?

BS 25999 is a new visionary international standard designed to keep your business going during the most challenging and unexpected circumstances. It provides a basis for understanding, developing, implementing and managing business continuity within your organization and gives you confidence when dealing with stakeholders both within and outside your organization.

Session 1 (July 12-14; 8:30–4:30). 24 CPE Hours.Establishing a Business Continuity Management System.

Strategy and Risk Assessment

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 and what levels of risk it will tolerate, is akin to trying to author a book without first determining a plot.

This course provides participants with a solid understanding of business continuity management. It is based on industry best practice and guidelines for business continuity and reviews the “Business Continuity Management – Code of Practice” released by BSI, BS 25999-1:2006. Practical exercises and instructor-led discussions will help students understand the benefits of business continuity management in an organization.

BS 25999 advocates applying the same Plan-Do-Check-Act management methodology found in many other BSI, ISO, and IEC standards. Accordingly, this stage 1 course addresses BCMS Life Cycle key concepts required for BCMS planning.


Session 2 (July 15-16; 8:30–4:30). 16 CPE Hours.Using BS 25999 Best Practices to Develop, Exercise, and Certify Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Processes.

Putting the "Stage-1" Strategy to Action

Building upon the foundation understanding of the BS 25999 Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) platform learned in the first session, this course provides participants with the knowledge, methods, and skills to put the previous course's strategy into practice. It is based on industry best practice and guidelines for business continuity and reviews the "Business Continuity Management - Part 1 - Code of Practice" released by BSI, BS 25999-1:2006, and "Business Continuity Management - Part 2 - Specification" released by BSI, BS 25999-2:2007. Again, practical exercises and instructor-led discussions will help students understand the techniques to deploy, test, and maintain business continuity management in an organization.
