The global gold standard in business continuity education.
Resilience Guard GmbH serves as the exclusive accredited training provider for DRI International across Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Greece, Cyprus and Scandinavia, while delivering specialised instruction to a global audience.
Why DRI International
DRI International is the oldest and most widely recognised certification body for business continuity globally, and Resilience Guard is its exclusive accredited training provider for Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Greece, Cyprus and Scandinavia.
In an era defined by systemic volatility and rigorous regulatory mandates such as DORA and NIS2, certified expertise in business continuity has moved from a professional advantage to a corporate necessity. By anchoring our programmes in the DRI ten Professional Practices, participants are not merely learning a set of tools; they are mastering a comprehensive, proven body of knowledge that is universally aligned with ISO 22301 and provides the structured methodology regulators now expect to see demonstrated.
To date, Resilience Guard has trained over 300 professionals across the United States, Asia and the EMEA region. All courses are delivered in English and led by senior consultants with active field experience, so instruction is rooted in practical application rather than pure theory.
