ISO 22301 Lead Auditor

ISO 22301 Lead Auditor, why should you attend?

Given the increasing number of disruptions and the unpredictability of disasters of any kind (natural, occupational, information security), organizations nowadays are aiming at getting certified against ISO 22301 in order to show commitment toward business continuity and ensure those disruptive incidents are detected and properly addressed, thus the management system is continually improved.

By becoming a PECB certified ISO 22301 lead auditor, you will achieve formal and independent recognition of your personal competencies, and you qualify yourself to conduct BCMS audits for a certification body. Recognizing the importance of an effective audit and the means used to successfully conduct it, PECB has designed the ISO 22301 Lead Auditor training course. Attending this training course allows you to obtain the knowledge and skills to plan and carry out audits in compliance with ISO 19011 and the certification process according to ISO/IEC 17021-1.

Through interactive sessions, explanatory information, exercises, and questions for discussion, you will be able to acquire knowledge of the business continuity management system as well as audit techniques and become competent to perform a BCMS audit by applying widely recognized audit principles, procedures, and techniques, and to manage an audit program and an audit team.

After attending the training course, you can sit for the exam and, if you successfully pass the exam, you can apply for the “PECB Certified ISO 22301 Lead Auditor” credential. The internationally recognized “PECB Certified ISO 22301 Lead Auditor” certificate will prove that you have the professional capabilities and competencies to audit organizations based on the requirements of ISO 22301 and auditing best practices.

ISO 31000 Implementation and Guidelines simplified in 5 days. Throughout the training, Nico (facilitator) brought the PECB training to our organizational context for us to relate well and see how clearly the ISO 31000 standard can be implemented if we understood the internal and external context of our business, operational processes to make meaningful impacts and be relevant. I came out of the training with a whole new perspective of leading the ISO 31000 in our organization. Thank You Nico Snyman

The ISO 18788 course exceeded my expectations and I took great learnings from this course. The instructor is experienced and was confident and passionate about presenting the course. I also find great benefit in networking with professional security service providers and interacting with other security managers/professionals.

After spending numerous years in the Quality field and working with ISO Standards, I realise that terminology of Risk Assessments are my weaknesses and the course (and the additional information) has helped me a lot to understand it better. The week of training was really worth every cent. Appreciate the effort put into the course.

The contents of this standard speaks back to what I needed to know a long time ago. What a great tool this is to guide me going forward to develop my discipline to become compliant on the highest level. I could identify all my personal gaps i.e. knowledge and skills set as well as the gaps within my discipline within by business unit. I can now develop a plan, implement and be able to evaluate our growth and development from being basic in our level of compliance to futuristic and pro-active. What an enlightenment and great experience this has been!
