12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Most practitioners take 6+ months to go from ISO 22301 kickoff to audit-ready outputs, but delays stem from process gaps, not knowledge gaps.
The situation this course is for
Teams start strong but stall during control mapping, documentation handoffs, or internal review cycles. The framework is sound, but velocity breaks down in translation from intent to execution.
Who this is for
Senior Security Consultant in a public sector or regulated organisation, responsible for deploying or maintaining ISO-aligned resilience programs with minimal overhead.
Who this is not for
Entry-level analysts, external auditors, or consultants focused solely on ISO certification prep without implementation depth.
What you walk away with
- Produce a complete ISO 22301 Statement of Applicability in under 3 weeks
- Draft policy-to-procedure mappings that require no rework in senior review
- Generate audit-ready evidence packages directly from implementation logs
- Reduce control documentation time by 50% using standardised templates
- Maintain version-controlled continuity plans that update dynamically with infrastructure changes
