ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) Internal Auditor Course
Every organisation has a continuity plan. Far fewer know whether it would hold. A cyberattack, a flood, a supplier failure or a data centre outage does not wait for the plan to be tested, and the gap between a documented procedure and a workable one is exactly what an internal audit is there to find.
This two-day course provides delegates with the knowledge and skills required to perform an internal audit of a business continuity management system based on ISO 22301, and to report on how effectively that system is implemented and maintained, following the ISO 19011 auditing guidelines.
Learning Curve
What You Will Be Able to Do
Related standard: the course also covers how a BCMS relates to ISO 27031, the standard for ICT readiness for business continuity, which matters when the disruption being planned for is a technology failure.
Course Content

The disruptions identified, and whether the assessment reflects the business as it is now.
Continuity Strategies and Plans
Documented arrangements examined against what the organisation could really do.
Incident Response
Whether the response structure, roles and communications hold under pressure.
Exercising and Improvement
Whether plans are tested, and whether what the tests revealed changed anything.
