Governance and Compliance in Business Continuity & Operational Resilience Training Course in Lagos, Nigeria
Classroom training in Lagos · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 2,800
Outages, cyber incidents, supplier failures and extreme weather no longer surprise regulators or boards, which now expect evidence that critical services can survive disruption. Compliance with continuity requirements has to be demonstrated, not merely asserted. Over five days, participants learn how to put accountability, policy and assurance around business continuity so that plans are owned, tested and kept current. Topics include continuity policy and roles, business impact analysis, risk assessment, recovery strategies, ISO 22301 alignment, impact tolerances, third-party dependencies and the link to crisis management and IT disaster recovery.
Later sessions concentrate on compliance: control frameworks, audit trails, exercise programmes, issue tracking, management review and clear reporting to executives and boards. Participants work through a case organisation, producing a governance structure, an assurance calendar and a board dashboard. The programme is intended for continuity and resilience managers, risk and compliance officers, internal auditors, IT service managers, operations heads and company secretaries in banks, utilities, public bodies, health providers and other service organisations. It is offered in the classroom, online or in-house and ends in a CPD-accredited certificate from Vision Reach Global Consultancy.

About this course
Organisations rely on a thin web of people, systems, suppliers and facilities, and any strand can fail. Boards, regulators, insurers and customers increasingly ask not whether a continuity plan exists but who is accountable for it, when it was last tested and what was learned. Many plans fail that scrutiny because governance was never designed around them.
The Governance and Compliance in Business Continuity & Operational Resilience Training Course focuses on that missing layer. Participants begin with the foundations, covering policy, scope, roles and the relationship between continuity, risk management and resilience. They then work through business impact analysis, recovery objectives and strategy selection, always asking how each decision would be evidenced to an auditor. Compliance is treated in depth, from mapping requirements and ISO 22301 clauses to internal audit, exercise programmes and the management of corrective actions.
The course is workshop based. Delegates build governance documents for a realistic organisation, run a tabletop exercise, review a sample plan against a control checklist and draft a resilience report suited to board committees, leaving with materials they can adapt on return to work.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Define continuity governance, including policy, scope, roles and decision rights.
- Conduct a business impact analysis and set recovery time and point objectives.
- Link continuity risk assessment to the wider enterprise risk framework.
- Map regulatory and ISO 22301 requirements to controls and evidence.
- Plan and facilitate tabletop and live exercises and record the outcomes.
- Assess the resilience of critical suppliers and outsourced services.
- Design assurance, audit and corrective action processes for continuity.
- Report resilience status clearly to executives and board committees.
