Board-facing recovery assessment

A defensible recovery readiness position before scrutiny arrives.

ResilienceScore gives leadership a defensible AAA-to-D recovery rating built from evidence quality, recovery testing discipline, dependency exposure, and decision readiness.

Built by CRSE and Singularity Research for organisations that need one decision-grade answer before ransomware, regulator pressure, buyer due diligence, or insurance renewal forces the conversation.

Why teams buy this

Most organisations can report activity. Fewer can defend recoverability.

ResilienceScore is designed for the point where leadership needs a recovery position that can be challenged, defended, and prioritised.

01

Backups succeed. Plans exist. Neither proves you can recover.

Documented intent and green dashboards can create comfort, but they do not prove recoverability under real disruption pressure.

02

Six dashboards. One question. Nothing answers it.

Leadership needs one decision-grade view of recovery readiness, not a collection of partial dashboards that disagree with each other.

03

Every gap looks urgent. None of them are ranked.

Most teams know there are gaps. Few can show which exposures are score-breaking, which are tolerable, and what should happen next.

04

Assertions, not evidence. Scrutiny will find that.

Assertions without tested evidence leave boards, insurers, and buyers guessing whether the recovery position would survive scrutiny.

Assessment logic

From signal to challenge to action.

The framework is meant to give leadership a usable output: a scored position, visible constraints, and a practical conversation about what deserves action next.

01
Signal

Score the real recovery picture

Use structured questions across technical, governance, delivery, and leadership pillars to convert scattered inputs into one rated position.

02
Pressure-test

Expose what breaks confidence

Hard caps and drag factors reveal where weak evidence, poor testing discipline, or critical dependency gaps should stop the score from drifting upward.

03
Act

Give leadership a usable next move

The result is designed to support board discussion, partner conversations, and practical prioritisation, not just another report.

What strengthens the score
  • Tested recovery evidence, not policy-only answers
  • Leadership clarity on decisions and escalation
  • Visible dependency and third-party weak points
What drags the score down
  • Untested assumptions in restore and failover paths
  • Critical suppliers with no resilience proof
  • Board reporting that cannot defend confidence
