And the reason we say this is creating plans is just a piece of the Enterprise Risk Management puzzle.  Without adequate employee awareness and training, a program is virtually useless in the stressful moments following a disaster.

An awareness and training program must support an organization’s business goals and meet applicable regulatory requirements. An awareness and training program must be soundly based upon due diligence in meeting these legislated requirements, organizational policies, and business goals. Information security, privacy actions, and Continuity are key components to entities continued operation. It is critical for entities to support these risk areas through a truly effective education program.

Organizations must not only ensure compliance to regulatory issues (including, but not limited to: HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and so many others, but also effectively communicate policy and regulatory issues to the organization. Training and awareness programs are needed to ensure that everyone knows the risks of non-compliance with not only regulations, but also with their own published policies. Organizations cannot have a successful awareness and training program if personnel do not understand the impacts and consequences of noncompliance. Information privacy officers, information security officers, compliance officers, risk officers, internal auditors, and information security and privacy leaders must understand how to most effectively communicate policy and regulatory requirements to support compliance. A successful program depends upon executive endorsement and appropriately motivating personnel to incorporate security, privacy and contingency activities into their job responsibilities.
