WHAT YOU MAY NEED:

For those who are just curious, sitting through the webinar may result in some new information that could point to new ways of learning, particularly those who are in the process of starting their Business Continuity Management Plan (BCMP), particularly in these challenging times.

But for those who are already building up their BCMP and tying that with cyberforensic readiness strategies, you need to have copies of ISO 27001 and ISO 22301. ISO 27001 is available for a fee at the official ISO website, and several online sellers. It can also be purchased at the DTI Bureau of Philippine Standards, which I did.

For ISO 22301, it is available for free, for probably a limited time at the ISO website, at this link:
