Testing Business Continuity Plans beyond the Tabletop
or
What? I have to get IT, Operations, and PR to work together??

So, you conducted a tabletop drill for the business side of your organization, and the IT department ran its own DRP tabletop. A key recommendation from both drills is that the company should go to the next level – an integrated drill. This means complete functional testing involving business operations, support services, IT, and the dreaded public relations department. Where do you start? How do you successfully test the BCP plans of several departments at the same time? What does “the next level” look like?

In this informative webinar, Steve Goldman will guide you to that next level. Steve will show you the groundwork you have to set to get your organization on board to support your functional test. Next, the challenges of developing a realistic scenario that meets the objectives of all participating departments are described. Included is a discussion of simulation vs. actual response actions. Steve’s many years experience in full-scale exercise development/conduct will then provide practical guidelines and on how to successfully conduct, control, and evaluate a multi-department, multi-location functional test.

IT, Operations, PR, and other departments will have to work together during a real disruption. With this webinar under your belt, you can help show them the way to that next level.
