Know what an outage really costs.
Continuity plans list systems. Value Governance shows which services the business depends on, what fails together, and how much value an outage takes away, so you protect and recover in the right order.
The problem
When every system is critical, none of them is.
Recovery targets are set by negotiation, dependency maps are drawn once and go stale, and tests prove the plan rather than the service.
No ranking
Recovery order follows who asks loudest, not what the business loses for every hour of outage.
Hidden dependencies
A shared database or a single supplier takes several services down at the same time.
Tests on paper
Exercises live in documents, not on the services they tested, and their actions are lost.
The VGF lens
Continuity maturity, measured per service.
Business Continuity Management is one of the extended competencies of the framework. Its six dimensions are assessed on each critical service and feed its maturity and so its value.
How the platform does it
Every service, its chain and its loss on one page.
Impact analysis, plans, tests, outage scenarios, supplier concentration and incidents sit next to the service, and ΔVi tells you which outage hurts most.
Modules at work
What each part of the platform contributes.
The dependency chain
What each service rests on, down to infrastructure and suppliers, so single points of failure show up.
Continuity risks
Resilience risks and controls on the services they protect, with test evidence attached.
Tests and actions
Exercises scheduled, findings turned into actions with owners and deadlines.
Incidents and recovery
Major incidents linked to the service, prioritised and reviewed by the value lost.
