What is the difference between ISO 22301 and ISO 27001?
ISO 22301 is about keeping the business running through disruption. ISO 27001 is about protecting information. They share the same management system structure, so many organisations run them together.
What is the difference between a BCP and a BCMS?
A business continuity plan (BCP) is a document for responding to and recovering from a disruption. A BCMS is the management system around it: scope, BIA, risk assessment, plans, exercises, audits and continual improvement.
What is the difference between RTO and RPO?
RTO is how quickly an activity must be resumed after a disruption. RPO is how much data loss is acceptable, measured back from the disruption to the last good copy.
Are there any prerequisites?
No formal prerequisite. A basic understanding of management systems or risk management helps.
Can you train our whole team?
Yes. We run in-house batches online or at your office, with exercises based on your sector. Enquire about an in-house batch.
