The Lead Disaster Recovery Manager training is designed for professionals responsible for disaster recovery outcomes, including IT managers, resilience leads, consultants, and recovery team members involved in planning or execution.
The Lead Disaster Recovery Manager training is intended for professionals who are accountable for disaster recovery performance, not just documentation. It is most relevant for individuals who design, manage, test, or report on recovery capabilities within complex organizations.
This role has become more critical as organizations face stricter regulatory expectations, increased outsourcing, and greater dependence on digital services. In 2024–2025, recovery accountability often sits with IT leadership, operational resilience functions, or risk and compliance teams that must demonstrate recovery readiness to regulators and boards.
Typical participants include IT or infrastructure managers responsible for system availability, business continuity or operational resilience managers coordinating recovery across functions, consultants advising clients on disaster recovery readiness, and disaster recovery team members who execute recovery during incidents. The training is also relevant for compliance professionals tasked with maintaining conformance with internal recovery requirements.
The course assumes participants already operate in environments where downtime has financial, regulatory, or reputational consequences. It does not focus on entry level concepts but on decision making, governance, and recovery service performance.
In practice, attendees use this training to clarify responsibilities, validate recovery strategies, design meaningful tests, and communicate recovery status in a way that withstands audit and executive scrutiny.
We often see confusion around ownership of disaster recovery. Some organizations treat it as an IT problem, others as a continuity issue. The professionals who benefit most from this training are those caught in the middle, expected to coordinate recovery without clear authority or structure.
This course helps participants reposition disaster recovery as a managed service with defined roles, metrics, and escalation paths. Participants who succeed typically already have exposure to incidents or audits and want to move from reactive problem solving to structured recovery leadership.
Those new to IT or continuity usually struggle, not because the content is complex, but because it assumes accountability and decision making authority.
