Most engineers wait for approval to act on continuity findings, but ownership starts with the person closest to the system
The situation this course is for
Teams lose velocity when test decisions require层层 escalation. The lack of clear ownership delays fixes and weakens audit readiness, especially when continuity gaps are flagged late in cycles
Who this is for
Associate System Engineer working in integrated IT environments where service continuity impacts multiple stakeholders
Who this is not for
Engineers focused solely on break/fix or those without system-level documentation responsibility
What you walk away with
- Own final determination on business continuity test success or failure
- Approve or escalate recovery procedures without supervisor review
- Document and close test gaps using ISO 22301-compliant templates
- Lead cross-functional test coordination with network, security, and app teams
- Produce audit-ready evidence packs for internal and external reviewers
