In order to provide you with assistance in getting ready for internal/external BCP audits and help you with Advanced Business Continuity Testing challenges, Business As Usual presents a 2-day workshop.

Advanced Business Continuity Testing and BCP Compliance (2-day workshop)

This workshop gives you hands-on experience and is a confidence builder for those who are faced with the challenge of Business Continuity (BC) or Disaster Recovery (DR) audits and BCP Testing. During the workshop you will be performing an actual pre-audit self assessment on your own BCP based on the standards relevant to you, and you will also put together a BCP Test script and detailed BCP Test plan for your organisation.

Those who don’t have a BCP in place yet, will learn what they should incorporate in the process, in order to align their BCP with industry standards, Government Guidelines and industry best-practice.

The workshop assists you and your organisation with assurance or compliance/certification with standards such as ISO/PAS 22399/22301, CPS232/SPS232/APS222/GPS232 (APRA), BS25999, AS HB221:2004, Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II, NFPA 1600:2007, ITSCM (ITIL) and DS4 (COBIT)

Learning Outcomes
