A tailored course, built for your situation
Mastering ISO 22301 for Resilience Program Leads
A complete implementation system for business continuity programs that stand up under real disruption
The situation this course is for
Leadership teams consistently face cross-functional delays in pulling together continuity evidence, especially when audit timelines compress and stakeholders demand traceability. The gap isn’t strategy, it’s execution: documented roles, tested escalation paths, and artefacts that pass scrutiny the first time.
Who this is for
Senior resilience, risk, or compliance lead overseeing business continuity programs in high-visibility tech environments facing regulatory attention
Who this is not for
Junior analysts, generic ERM teams without incident response ownership, or consultants without hands-on implementation experience
What you walk away with
- Produce a fully compliant ISO 22301 Statement of Applicability without external consultants
- Reduce audit preparation time by mapping controls to existing operational runsheets
- Lead incident simulation debriefs with concrete improvements, not generic takeaways
- Confidently own the continuity timeline during real events
- Shift from reactive evidence collection to proactive programme ownership
