Business Continuity Management

The most advanced BCM engine in the MENA resilience market

Guided BIA workshops that derive MAO and MBCO from impact-over-time curves. Recovery targets committed as RTO, RPO, MAO, and MBCO - and validated against actual test results. Nth-party dependency mapping with cascade simulation that shows exactly which processes fall when a supplier goes dark.

Why it matters

Most BCM programmes stop at a register and a plan document

RTOs are written in a workshop and never tested. Dependencies are mapped to Tier 1 and stop there. MAO and MBCO - the metrics that actually protect customers and revenue - are rarely derived at all. When disruption hits, the plan fails because it was never proven, and the cascade runs through dependencies no one mapped.

Regulators and boards no longer accept a plan document as evidence. SAMA, NCEMA, and ISO 22301 all expect tested recovery, measurable targets, and dependency visibility beyond your direct suppliers. A plan that's never been exercised is a plan that doesn't work - and a guess isn't a recovery strategy.

And unmeasurable commitments aren't commitments. 'We'll recover quickly' isn't a target. 'We'll be back in 4 hours with card-auth-only mode' is. Without MAO and MBCO, you can't prioritise, can't test, and can't hold anyone accountable for the outcomes that actually matter to customers.

The old way

Untested plans

Documents that gather dust

RTOs without MAO/MBCO

Targets missing the why

Tier-1-only dependencies

Cascade risk invisible

No test-vs-target proof

Gaps never raised

The NexusEdge way

Guided BIA

Impact curves, not guesses

MAO/MBCO derived

From the curve, not a vote

Nth-party cascade

SPOFs auto-detected

Test-vs-target proof

Gaps auto-remediated

How it achieves it

Guided BIA, measurable targets, and cascade simulation - proven before disruption

NexusEdge runs a guided per-process BIA that captures impact across four dimensions - financial, operational, regulatory, reputational - at four time intervals, then derives MAO and MBCO from the impact curve. Not a guess, not a workshop vote: a defensible, evidence-backed derivation your regulator will accept.

Recovery targets are committed as RTO, RPO, MAO, and MBCO for every critical process, then validated against actual test results. When a test misses the committed target, the gap is tracked and a remediation action is auto-raised - so proof replaces promises, cycle after cycle.

Dependencies are mapped to the nth party with single points of failure auto-detected and cascade simulations that show exactly which processes fall, and how fast, when a supplier goes dark. Continuity plans are versioned, linked to the BIA and strategies they are built from, and drift-watched - so the plan in the library is always the plan that was tested.

What’s included

Key capabilities

Guided BIA workshop engine

Per-process capture across four dimensions and four time intervals, with MAO and MBCO derived from the impact-over-time curve - not from a workshop guess.

RTO/RPO/MAO/MBCO governance

Every critical process commits four targets, validated against actual test results. Gaps between committed and achieved recovery auto-raise remediation.

Nth-party dependency cascade

Map dependencies beyond Tier 1, auto-detect single points of failure, and simulate how a supplier outage cascades through your processes - in hours.

Test & exercise scheduling

Schedule full failovers, tabletops, and component tests. Record results against committed targets. Overdue tests surface immediately.

Versioned, drift-watched plans

Continuity plans are versioned, linked to the BIA and strategies they are built from, and flagged when they drift from the tested baseline.

Board-ready readiness reporting

A live readiness scorecard across eight dimensions, every claim evidence-linked to BIA records, plan versions, and test results - generated in minutes.

A plan that's never been tested is a plan that doesn't work - and an RTO without MAO is a target without a reason.
