Begin with the service
A plan is useful only when its dependencies are understood
A continuity plan can appear complete while key people, technology, facilities or suppliers remain undocumented. Business impact analysis provides the service context, but the plan, exercise results and improvement work also need to stay related to it.
The platform gives continuity teams a configurable structure for plans, assessments, dependencies, issues and actions alongside the wider risk picture.
- Critical service and owner
- Business impact analysis context
- Plans and dependencies
- Exercises, gaps and actions
A continuity cycle
Turn an exercise result into visible improvement
Use each stage to improve the next decision rather than treating the plan document as the finished product.
A continuity cycle
Understand
Record the service, impact, recovery expectations and the dependencies that matter to continuity.
A continuity cycle
Prepare and exercise
Maintain the plan and supporting arrangements, then capture what was tested, what failed and which assumptions changed.
A continuity cycle
Improve
Create issues and actions with owners and dates, then report whether readiness is improving.
Across the organization
Report readiness without collecting every plan again
When teams use common status, ownership and review information, reporting can show overdue plans, unresolved exercise findings and actions affecting important services. The underlying detail remains available to users with permission.
Business continuity can also remain connected to operational resilience, enterprise risk, technology risk and third-party dependencies without purchasing another Parapet module.
- Common plan and exercise status
- Personal dashboards for owners
- Portfolio reporting
- Inactive history retained without charge
Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Can Parapet support business impact analysis information?
Yes. The fields, terminology, ownership and relationships required for the agreed business continuity process are configured during implementation.
Can exercise gaps create accountable actions?
Yes. Findings, issues and remediation can be linked to the exercise, service and relevant risk rationale.
Do archived plans or inactive items continue to incur charges?
No. Inactive and archived items are not charged unless they are used for reporting or reactivated in that month.
