Course Overview
Guard force performance on business impact and recovery planning reflects supervision, not instruction. Security arrangements around recovery planning are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Buying a tool rarely fixes the wider corporate security practice agenda; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Mature organisations treat business impact and recovery planning as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the practice within corporate security practice. The course sets out a working method for recovery planning that participants can apply the week they return. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about business impact and recovery planning. Every module pairs a short input on recovery planning with structured practice on the participant's own material. The final session converts the week's work on this strand of corporate security practice into commitments with owners and dates.
