/EINPresswire.com/ IT Governance, the business continuity management and ISO22301 compliance experts, are today launching the ISO22301 Certified BCMS Lead Auditor training course in London. The course has been designed to provide delegates with the practical knowledge and skills required to plan and execute audits of Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS) in line with the requirements specified by the ISO22301:2012 standard.

Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance says, “The global acceptance of ISO22301 as the default standard for Business Continuity Management has led to an increased demand for qualified ISO22301 Lead Auditors. As a leading training provider we

are committed to supporting business continuity professionals develop their career in this area by helping them obtain the necessary auditing skills.”

ISO22301:2012 (Societal Security - Business Continuity Management System – Requirements) is the international standard for business continuity within organisations and defines the specification and best practice for implementing a robust business continuity management system. Published in May 2012, ISO22301 replaces the BS25999 standard which will be withdrawn in 2013.

The ISO22301 Certified BCMS Lead Auditor training course provides delegates with a comprehensive understanding of the requirements of an audit (as defined by the ISO19011 Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems) and the knowledge required to execute the audit of a Business Continuity Management System to ensure its conformity to the ISO22301:2012 standard. The course consists of two modules: the first provides core training on lead auditing in respect of management systems, while the second focuses on building the specific skills required for an ISO22301 audit.

The ISO22301 Certified BCMS Lead Auditor training course is designed for professionals who wish to develop a career in the audit of a business continuity management system (BCMS), or in ensuring best practice in the application of business continuity controls. The course would also benefit external consultants seeking to support the auditing activity of a business continuity planning (BCP) system within client organisations.
