Audit findings piling up? Cross-team misalignment on recovery roles?
The situation this course is for
Without a standardized continuity framework, facilities teams face repeated scrutiny, unclear recovery ownership, and extended downtime after incidents. Teams default to reactive fixes, creating inconsistency and audit exposure.
Who this is for
Senior facilities leader at a high-growth technology firm responsible for uptime, compliance, and operational resilience
Who this is not for
Junior coordinators, administrative assistants, or vendors without direct responsibility for continuity planning in a technical operations environment
What you walk away with
- Ability to lead ISO 22301 gap assessments independently
- Access to audit-ready templates for business impact analysis
- Clear mapping of recovery roles across facilities, IT, and security teams
