Continuity that is proven, not filed.
Most continuity plans are written for an audit and then left untouched until the next one. The backup regime behind them is assumed, not verified. And the crisis exercise that was supposed to happen in March quietly became next year’s problem.
NIS2 expects business continuity — backup management, disaster recovery and crisis management — as an operating measure, and DORA expects tested response and recovery plans. TruSecure governs continuity as living controls: plans owned and reviewed on a cycle, backup verification read from the systems that actually run it, exercises logged with their outcomes.
How it works
- Register
Each continuity element — the plan, the backup regime, each recovery procedure, the crisis protocol — becomes a control with a named owner and a review cycle.
- Connect
Backup and infrastructure connectors confirm the technical reality: last successful restore test, replication state, whether the RPO on paper matches the RPO in production.
- Exercise
Tests and crisis exercises are logged with outcomes and lessons learned. The next exercise date is tracked by the platform, not remembered by a person.
- Improve
Findings feed back into the control model as tracked remediations. The gap an exercise exposed stays visible until it closes — it does not evaporate with the meeting notes.

The backup and cloud connectors read restore-test results and replication state straight from the platforms that run them — no separate continuity register to keep alive by hand.
When continuity is governed this way, the audit question “when did you last test this?” has a timestamped answer, and the board question “are we actually recoverable?” has an honest one. Both come from the same model as every other control answer.
