DRJ en Español

What DRJ en Español does

DRJ en Español is the Spanish-language media, training, and events arm of the US-based Disaster Recovery Journal (DRJ), founded in 1987. Operating from Lima, Peru since November 2011, the company serves Business Continuity, Crisis Management, and Organizational Resilience professionals across Iberoamerica (Latin America and Spain), and claims to operate the largest regional professional community in the discipline, with 4,000+ professionals trained through its programs and 6,000+ newsletter subscribers.

Its core offering is a portfolio of professional training and certification courses delivered in partnership with international bodies including BCI, BSI, ICOR, and CertiProf (covering ISO 22301 Lead Implementer, CORM, BCI exercises, and agile methodologies), plus a content library of articles, webinars, white papers, and a dedicated educational platform, The Resilience Campus (TRC). The flagship event is the annual Iberoamerican Conference (held since 2012), complemented by DRJDay events across three countries, the virtual BCM Software Week, and recurring in-house training options for organizations.

The business is monetized through four streams: per-course training and certification fees (USD 500-1,450 per participant), annual conference registration and accommodation packages (USD 800-1,650), sponsorship tiers (Gold/Silver/Bronze/Collaborator/Supporter), and adjacent advertising. A free weekly newsletter functions as a top-of-funnel acquisition channel into the paid training and event offerings. The company is privately held, has six employees, and operates as a subsidiary/regional arm of the DRJ parent organization with no disclosed venture capital or institutional funding.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Business Continuity Institute (BCI): The leading international professional body for business continuity and resilience professionals. BCI is both a partner and direct competitor — DRJ en Español is an official BCI course provider in Iberoamerica, but BCI also sells its own training and certification globally, including in Spanish-speaking markets.
• Continuity Central: UK-based online media outlet covering business continuity, risk management, and resilience news. Comparable to DRJ en Español as a content/media hub serving BCM practitioners, though English-only and lacking the training/certification revenue mix.
• DRI International: Global leader in BCM/resilience certification and education (ABR/CBCP/MBCP credentials). Like BCI, DRI competes with DRJ en Español in certifying BCM professionals but does not have equivalent Iberoamerican community depth, making it the most direct global peer in the certification category.
• BC Management (BCMO): BCI's research and benchmarking arm tracking BCM programs and professionals globally. Provides comparable market intelligence, professional directory, and salary benchmarking to DRJ en Español's Regional Maturity Studies and community data assets.
• ICOR (International Consortium for Organizational Resilience): US-based consortium offering the CORM (Certified Organizational Resilience Manager) credential and resilience frameworks. ICOR is a documented strategic partner of DRJ en Español, but also competes in the same training and certification space, particularly for organizational resilience content.

Others

• Protiviti: Global consulting firm with a dedicated Business Continuity and Operational Resilience practice. Protiviti is both a research partner (Regional Maturity Study) and a conference collaborator, but is an enabling channel rather than a direct training competitor.
• Everbridge: Critical event management software vendor that has been a Bronze sponsor of the DRJ en Español conference. Functions as a vendor sponsor — adjacent to but not directly competitive with the training/community business model.
• F24: European crisis management and emergency notification software vendor, Gold sponsor of the 2019 DRJ en Español conference. Adjacent software vendor sponsor serving the same BCM enterprise buyers.

Broad incumbents

• BSI Group: British standards body offering ISO 22301 Lead Implementer certification. BSI is both a course partner and a GTM sponsor of DRJ en Español's conference, but operates across dozens of standards beyond BCM, making it a broader incumbent overlap rather than a direct peer.
• ASIS International: Global professional association for security management, with overlapping chapters in Latin America. Adjacent rather than direct — ASIS covers physical/operational security while DRJ en Español focuses on BCM/resilience, but their enterprise buyer bases (CSOs, risk officers) heavily overlap.
