Management Systems 101 for Business Continuity Professionals | View Now
Part of DRJ's Monthly Webinar Series | Originally Recorded: March 10, 2010
The term ‘management system’ seems to be everywhere in business continuity these days. Many standards for business continuity have begun leveraging this approach (including standards chosen for the PS-Prep organizational certification initiative), but what exactly does it mean? More importantly, how will this simple concept transform the business continuity profession in the coming years? And, further, how might it contribute to the concept of ‘convergence’ that so many leaders in our profession have predicted?
This webinar will explore the concept of a management system, illustrate how it applies to the business continuity profession, and demonstrate how this simple concept can be an extremely powerful tool in capturing and maintaining management’s support for a business continuity program. Specifically, we will discuss:
- What is a Management System?
- What Value Does a Management System Present to My Organization?
- Key Characteristics of a Management System
- Key Components of a Management System
- Types of Management System Models
|
- How Does This Apply to Business Continuity?
- Which Business Continuity Standards are Management Systems Based?
- Where are they now? Where are they heading?
- Discussion/Questions

Data Breach - The Missing Piece in Your Business Continuity Program | View Now
Originally Recorded: Thursday, December 10, 2009
If your organization holds customer or patient data you must protect it. No matter how much technology has been employed to safeguard sensitive data, an organization may still have a breach. If a compromise occurs, your organization must respond to comply with numerous state and federal legal requirements, and to protect your brand and constituents. Having a data breach incident response plan in place and a mechanism to produce legally required notices will be critical to your effective management of the event. Continuity planners and business decision makers need to understand the impact of the breach notification statute, the timeframe for legal compliance, and the ramifications for non-compliance and lack of readiness. The webinar was designed to help participants understand the preplanning, notification production, and call center capabilities that are the keys to an effective data breach response. Topics include:
- What business continuity practitioners should know about this threat.
- Who normally 'owns' this preparedness effort?
- The threat is real, is your organization ready to respond?
- How does state statute impact your entity and require you to notify?
|
- Federal Data breach notification requirements - current and proposed.
- The penalties for non-compliance.
- How to get your plan up to speed.
- Lessons learned from actual breach events.
- Q&A
