This course will introduce you to the process of developing,
communicating and testing a disaster recovery plan to avoid
potential pitfalls and ensure the continuation of critical business
operations in the case of an unforeseeable event. We will begin
by taking a look at a mock scenario of a company which
experiences a flood during the normal course of a day. This
company does not have a disaster plan in place and as a result,
experiences a huge loss both financially and emotionally.
You will then be introduced to some of the processes and
procedures which this mock company and your company or
clients can utilize to ensure the continuation of critical business
operations in the event of an unforeseeable disaster in order to
reduce your financial and emotional risk.
Major Subjects:
- Understanding the importance of having a corporate
disaster plan in place within your organization
- How to develop, communicate and test a disaster plan, or
also commonly referred to as a business continuity plan
- Understanding how to estimate damages which occurred as
the result of a disaster
- Terminology related to disaster planning and recovery.
