Episode 92 — Facilitate Resiliency Planning Inputs: COOP, External Factors, Laws, and BIA
This episode teaches how to facilitate resiliency planning inputs that shape continuity outcomes, with emphasis on how COOP considerations, external factors, legal and regulatory expectations, and business impact analysis results must be translated into actionable requirements. You’ll learn how external dependencies like utilities, upstream providers, critical SaaS platforms, and regional disruptions change assumptions about availability, recovery sequencing, and communication responsibilities. We also cover how laws and contractual obligations can affect notification timelines, data handling during recovery, and minimum service expectations, which ISSMP may test through scenario questions about regulated operations. You’ll practice turning BIA outputs into planning constraints, such as maximum tolerable downtime, recovery time objectives, recovery point objectives, and prioritized services, then validating those constraints with stakeholders and governance. Troubleshooting focuses on unrealistic assumptions, missing dependencies, and “paper resiliency” that looks good but cannot operate under real conditions.
