Planning and Prioritization

Identify the key Products and Services you need to protect and so are in scope for your resilience planning

Determine which of these are an Important Business Services (IBSs) from a regulatory perspective. The regulators prescribed assessment criteria are built in.

Your Dependencies

Push-button graphics to show your key dependencies at a glance, both internally and across your entire supply chain.

Business Impact Analysis

Determine the key metrics of Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption (MTPD) and Minimum Business Continuity Objective (MBCO),
  •  The MTPD (or Impact Tolerance as the regulators say) tells you how quickly you must recover to avoid intolerable harm 
  • The MBCO sets the service level you need to aim for when you recover. The regulators acknowledge this may be lower than what you achieve on a business-as-usual basis.

Risk Assessment and Mitigation

Identify and assess the risks which might disrupt the delivery of your Products, Services and IBSs. These risks are typically those which threaten the availability of resources.

Determine the Recovery Time Objectives for these resources

Our sufficiency analysis determines if these RTOs are good enough to meet your MTPD (impact tolerance) and MBCO targets.

Determine and record the recovery strategies and plans you will deploy to re-establish delivery during periods of disruption.

Resilience incident logging and automated notification to management.

Store pre-determined internal and external communication strategies. Their deployment will be triggered by these notifications.
