Traditional Business Continuity (BC)\, Disaster Recovery (DR)\, and Emergency Management (EM) programs often operate in silos\, creating dangerous gaps during actual crises. This presentation describes how to unify these disciplines into a cohesive organizational resilience program using two authoritative standards: the Drii Professional Practices (PP) and NFPA 1660: Standard on Emergency\, Continuity\, and Crisis Management. \nAttendees will learn how DRII’s lifecycle – Risk Assessment\, Business Impact Analysis\, Strategy Development\, Plan Development\, Training & Awareness\, and Exercise Programs – maps directly to NFPA 1660’s Emergency Management and Continuity requirements. By aligning these frameworks\, organizations can build resilience capabilities that protect people\, sustain operations\, and restore critical technology under real-world conditions. This session provides actionable guidance on integrating emergency response (ICS/NIMS)\, business continuity\, IT disaster recovery\, and crisis communications into a single\, governance-driven approach. Practical examples\, maturity indicators\, and lessons learned from real incidents will illustrate how organizations can strengthen preparedness\, response\, and recovery activities across IT\, physical operations\, and leadership teams. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nUnderstand the complementary roles of DRII Professional Practices and NFPA 1660 and how to use them together – these are key BC/DR/EM Frameworks used by the authors.\nLearn how to integrate BC\, DR\, and EM functions to eliminate silos and strengthen response coordination.\nSee how the DRII Professional Practices lifecycle maps to NFPA 1660’s Emergency\, Continuity\, and Crisis Management standards.\nGain actionable strategies to improve governance\, cross-functional planning\, crisis leadership\, and resource coordination.\nLearn about ISACA’s IT Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery Audit Program\, produced in 2021\, and how to download it.\n\n\n  \nPresenters \n\n \n\n\nHarvey Nusz\nCIPM\, CRISC\, CISA\, CGEIT \nHarvey Nusz is a seasoned cybersecurity\, privacy\, governance\, and BC/DR advisor experience in Business Continuity\, IT Disaster Recovery\, and organizational resilience.
