Every organisation has faced an incident that impacts its ability to deliver key products and services. Following such an event, it is vital that key processes are restored to an acceptable level within a reasonable timeframe.
This business continuity management (BCM) exercise will allow attendees to rehearse their organisation’s recovery from a disruptive event in a realistic and controlled manner. It will focus on validating relevant recovery plans and building confidence in their use among attendees.
