Governance, Risk & Compliance

Business Continuity & Operational Resilience

Plans that have been tested, by people who have run real incidents.

The situation

Continuity documents age badly and are usually written by someone who has never lost a data centre.

We build business impact analysis from measured dependencies, set recovery objectives the business will actually fund, write plans that work under stress, and then test them — because an untested plan is a hypothesis. Increasingly this is also a compliance obligation under NIS2 and DORA rather than a prudential nicety.
