BCM-8030: ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management System Auditor
Details
This course primarily equips individuals to audit BCM readiness using the ISO22301 standard as an internal (first, second and third party) auditor. This course is also relevant to any financial or IT auditors responsible for BCM. A BCM-ready business is highly regarded and prized as a supplier, largely because this company is deemed a reliable and sustainable partner for both the short and long haul. Becoming BCM-ready is a process businesses providing essential services to others cannot ignore, whether required as part of legal obligations stipulated in the request for proposal (RFP)/ tender, or it is part of the corporate culture and ethos of the supplying organisation.
