Operational Resilience Framework

CEO Mark Orsi discusses BRC efforts to enhance operational resilience.

Traditional disaster recovery and business continuity efforts have focused on data recovery with little regard for providing services in an impaired state. In 2021, the Business Resilience Council launched a multi-sector working group to develop the Operational Resilience Framework to help solve that challenge.

The framework provides rules and implementation aids that support a company’s recovery of immutable data, while also – and uniquely–  allowing it to minimize service disruptions in the face of destructive attacks and events.

The ORF was developed to be broadly applicable and is aligned with existing controls like those from NIST and ISO.
