Traditional disaster recovery and business continuity efforts have focused on data recovery with little regard for providing services in an impaired state. In 2021, Global Resilience Federation’s Business Resilience Council (BRC) 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.
