To be or Not to be Certified

With obvious arguments for embracing certifications, it is surprising that some organizations still do not actively support the certification of their staff. Perhaps it is because a large number of variables make it difficult to conclusively measure and attribute the impact of certified professionals to business outcomes.21 Another reason is that IT has very few regulations that mandate certification. With the increased complexity of modern information systems and high-impact decision making based on risk assessment rather than a best-practice- prescribed approach, it is obvious that professional certification plays a critical role in skillfully managing organizational risk with benefits that are bound to surpass the relatively modest investment in certifications. Without regulations, audit functions should perhaps pay more attention to whether organizations are embracing professional certifications of staff and contractors and within vendors as a risk management tool. Rather than waiting on a regulation, embracing professional certifications is a simple solution in the hands of organizations that will also pay back through an improved bottom line.
We will help you to achieve what you want in terms of certification.

Among of the topics covered in CISA is Business Continuity and disaster recovery plan.
Read the article below.


The disruptions of the organisation critical operations can happen at any time either naturally (fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, and volcanoes) or by man-made (Plane crashes, Theft/Crime, vandalism, terrorism, riots, sabotage, loss of key personnel, electrical outage etc). Disasters can strike at any time and can mean life or death for organisation. Researches shows that, all companies that close due to disasters (i.e. cyber crime, pandemics, hurricanes, power failures, acts of terror, fire, flood and others) never reopen. The effective implementation and operation of BCM plan depends on many factors. There are number of challenges in developing and maintaining BCM plan including putting the proper planning, people, and technology. However, a common complain of many CEOs and Directors is that BCM plans are outdated and need to be updated to account for economic, political and social environment needs. Business continuity and disaster recovery should be looked at not just in terms of business continuity and applications availability, but also for compliance reasons.


This program is aimed at delivering to the students with relevant knowledge, concepts and best practices, equipping them with the skills to develop, document, test and implement organizational BC/DRP programs and strategies effectively. This important training will enable BC professionals to remain up to date and continue to meet the current and future needs of organizations.


This course will provide the participants with the skills and knowledge, empowering them to:

i) Establish the need for a Business Continuity Management (BCM) Program and Initiate and Manage Business Continuity Management (BCM) programme.

ii) Align ICT policy with the BCM Policy and Programme Management

iii) Conduct Business Impact Analysis(BIA) to determine the impact to various business functions and systems

iv) Calculate recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO) based on BIA
