Strengthen Operational Resilience with Data Lineage

Systems being compromised due to a cyber attack, system failure or other issue have substantial financial, legal and brand implications on a business.

Operational resilience measures an organization’s ability to recover from disruptions. And a strong resilience and disaster recovery plan is essential to estimate and reduce recovery time, minimize risk and limit the impact on customers, the business and wider markets.

 

Minimize Downtime and Ensure Business Continuity

Use data lineage for system dependency mapping – to map relationships between data and systems – and understand the dependencies and impact on other systems and processes. This can reduce your operational risk, the impact and the time to restore systems as part of business disaster recovery. Solidatus’ advanced data lineage solution helps you strengthen your operational resilience plan.

Map Relationships and Dependencies

Map and visualize dependencies, impact, owners of systems and link them together.

You can then prioritize the quickest disaster recovery sequence. If one system is impacted, you will see which other systems, services and processes are impacted downstream and bring in the relevant people at the right time.

Understand Time to Recovery

In most situations, each system’s provider gives a time to recover in your contract – a Recovery Time Objective (RTO). Solidatus can rapidly calculate the estimated time to restore all impacted systems, based on this information.

You can then set expectations with internal staff, as well as customers and partners.

Improve your Business Continuity Communication Plan

See which systems, processes and users are impacted by the issue.

This enables the business to know which internal teams, customers, partners and external bodies to communicate with, in order to set expectations and minimize damage.

A financial institution wants to strengthen its operational resilience strategy by planning and preparing to reduce their recovery time from a cyber attack or other system failure. They also want to reduce its impact and be able to communicate with internal staff and customers around when systems will be restored. Examples of how Solidatus supports a business continuity plan for cyber security:

  • Map the relationship between different systems, so they can understand the dependencies of systems on one another
  • Incorporate the order of bringing back systems into business continuity planning – based on priorities and dependencies
  • Understand the scale of any system attacks and failures as they happen, as well as who owns which system
  • Calculate an estimated time for systems to be back up, based on the information related to and tagged to each system
  • Communicate this with the relevant internal and external parties impacted.

The organization is able to rapidly assess the scale of the issue, reduce the business impact, strengthen their operational resilience, and enhance their business continuity and disaster recovery plans, as well as their compliance with DORA.
