We are pleased to bring this latest addition to our BC Education Programme, aimed at those who have experience in Continuity, who have already attended our various BC Courses (Understanding the Business, Getting the Buy In, Building a Business Continuity Plan and Business Continuity & Your Suppliers) and those needing to understand the implications of BS25999 on their business.
Through this session will gain a thorough understanding of the new British Standard for Business Continuity and how it can be implemented in your organisation.
