Disaster Resiliency - Compliance
In today’s business environment, disasters are not a matter of if but when. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, and floods—along with man-made disruptions including cyberattacks, utility outages, and system failures—pose serious threats to organizations. The impact of these events extends well beyond physical damage. Disasters can halt operations, generate significant financial losses, compromise compliance, damage reputations, and erode client trust.
This course equips you with the compliance knowledge and practical tools necessary to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Through a structured framework, learners will gain a deep understanding of organizational resiliency strategies and compliance requirements that strengthen both short-term responses and long-term recovery.
By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
- Be able to explain the purpose of a disaster planning framework and apply its principles to organizational preparedness.
- Know how to conduct risk assessments and develop business impact analyses (BIA) to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize critical business functions.
- Know how to design and maintain a business continuity plan (BCP) that ensures essential operations can continue during disruptions.
- Know how to develop and implement a disaster recovery plan (DRP) to restore IT systems, data, and infrastructure after a disaster.
- Be able to evaluate and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements while confirming adequate insurance coverage for potential disaster scenarios.
