An analytical study of integration maturity in resilience, risk and governance software, and the case for ground up design.

 

Most organisations still support continuity, operational resilience, enterprise risk, third party risk and crisis management with separate spreadsheets, documents, or platforms assembled through acquisition. This paper examines what that fragmentation costs, drawing on published research into spreadsheet error rates, post acquisition technology integration and the regulatory expectations set by DORA, UK operational resilience rules and ISO 22301.

 

It compares three models, manual, federated and ground up integrated, across data integrity, time to insight, cost, audit readiness and role clarity, and closes with role by role implications and a procurement checklist for boards, chief risk officers, CISOs, COOs and resilience leads.
