Resilience strategy and roadmap
Assess the current state of your resilience capabilities and develop a prioritized, multi year roadmap aligned with your risk appetite and business objectives.
Services
Operational resilience looks beyond any single plan or system. It asks whether the services your customers and stakeholders depend on can continue through disruption, whatever its cause. Our work spans the full lifecycle, from strategy and governance through to response and recovery.
Prepare
Resilience strategy and governance
Important business services and impact tolerances
Identify the services that matter most, map the people, processes, technology, facilities and third parties behind them, and set clear limits for tolerable disruption.
Regulatory and framework alignment
Gap assessments and readiness support against expectations such as ISO 22301, NIST CSF, FFIEC guidance and DORA, translated into practical actions.
Withstand
Cyber, technology and third party resilience
Cyber resilience planning
Prepare for the operational and strategic impacts of a severe cyber event, including ransomware, by defining minimum viable operations and the decisions leaders will need to make.
Technology resilience and recovery alignment
Reconcile business recovery objectives with technology recovery capabilities, so gaps are visible, owned and prioritized before they are tested.
Third party and supply chain resilience
Understand critical supplier and logistics dependencies, assess concentration risk, and build options that keep commitments to customers intact.
Respond and recover
Crisis readiness and continuous improvement
Crisis management and communications
Design crisis governance, escalation paths and communication protocols that help leadership act with clarity when information is incomplete and time is short.
Exercises and scenario testing
Executive tabletop exercises and severe but plausible scenario tests that build confidence, reveal gaps and demonstrate preparedness to boards and regulators.
Incident review and lessons learned
Structured, objective reviews after a disruption or exercise, establishing what happened, what worked, and the improvements that will strengthen the program.
Approach
A measured, collaborative process that builds on what already works within your organization and scales with its maturity.
Understand
Learn how the organization delivers its most important services, what capabilities exist today, and what leadership and regulators expect.
Prioritize
Focus attention on the services, dependencies and threats that carry the greatest impact, across cyber, technology, people and third parties.
Strengthen
Develop practical strategies, plans and governance with the teams who own them, so they are adopted rather than filed.
Test and improve
Validate capabilities through severe but plausible scenarios, capture lessons, and mature the program over time.
