Resilience as a Service

What we hear from the practitioners who call us

After more than a decade building, running, and rescuing resilience programs inside and alongside the world’s leading organizations, we hear the same things from the people running them today.

“I don’t have enough time and hands.”

“We have two crisis teams. The responsibilities overlap. The severity levels are confusing.”

“We wouldn’t be in a good spot should we have to recover. We don’t know what’s tied to what.”

“The board wants action. I keep reporting risk and getting told to do something about it.”

“I need to work with a company that can help me build this from scratch.”

“I can’t get business teams to live up to their commitments to the program.”

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone, and you don’t need another consultancy to tell you what you already know.

You need practitioners who will run the program with you, and who move you from reporting on risk to leading the program that answers for it.

Resilience as a Service, defined

A resilience program needs more than plans and binders. It needs practitioners running it.

Resilience as a Service is exactly that: a senior Bryghtpath team operating your resilience program on your behalf, every day.

We do the work. You get the outcomes. Your team focuses on the business.

Most engagements start with a single capability and expand as the program matures. Others bring us in to run everything from day one. Both models work.

What we run

Engage one capability or the full program. We run any combination you need.

Business Continuity
We build the program from scratch or rebuild it when it isn’t working.

Business Impact Analysis, business continuity plans, resilience governance, and exercises, refreshed on a defined cadence. Aligned to industry and regulatory standards like ISO 22301, FFIEC, NIST CSF, HITRUST, HIPAA, and FINRA, as appropriate to your organization.

Structured to meet the operational resilience expectations regulators are now enforcing. Audit-ready. Executive-ready.

Crisis Management
Organized crisis teams. One crisis framework and overarching plan. Response checklists that enable action. Severity levels people can actually use. A single source of truth for situational awareness. Clear escalation and communication paths. On-call response support when something happens. Integration with your cybersecurity processes, built for the sustained-incident reality that AI-era vulnerabilities have created.

A continuous exercise calendar, not a once-a-year event. Microsimulations, tabletop exercises, functional exercises, and executive-level complex simulations. Designed around the threats your organization actually faces, not generic scenarios.

We replace the confusion of overlapping teams and competing documents with something your executives understand and trust.

IT Disaster Recovery
We map what’s tied to what. We define recovery sequencing. We test recovery in the real world, not just on paper. Our governance and execution help your technology teams stay focused on what they do best.

When the next exercise asks how far back you can go, how fast, and how safely, you have answers instead of guesses.

How we engage

Four steps. Each one delivers value before the next one begins.

1. Diagnose. A Resiliency Diagnosis® gives you a clear, honest read on where you are and what you have. Weeks, not months.
2. Design. We build a program that fits. Simplified plans, one crisis team, recovery sequencing you can actually execute. Aligned to your regulators and your business, using our Resilience Operating Model® as the foundation.
3. Deliver. We run it. BIAs, plans, exercises, executive reporting, and on-call support. You don’t add headcount. You don’t carry the burden.
4. Evolve. Your program doesn’t stay static. We mature it, test it, and report on it in terms your executives and CFO use: where the risk sits, what it costs to buy it down, and what the investment returned. When the board asks, you have answers, not promises.

When organizations call us

Engagements rarely start because someone read a brochure. They start because something happened.

• A board directive. “Critical products need to be focused on by the program.”
• A real incident. “Last week’s fiasco woke us up.”
• A post-exercise finding. “We wouldn’t be in a good spot should we have to recover.”
• A compliance deadline. HITRUST, SOC 2, FFIEC, FINRA, or a new operational resilience mandate. The lifecycle has to be buttoned up before the audit starts.
• A champion transition. “Our previous lead left. We’re inheriting a program that’s out of date.”
• A greenfield build. “I need someone who can help me build this from scratch.”
• A capacity gap. “I don’t have enough time and hands.”

If any of these sound like your situation, we can help.

Built around your organization

Every organization is different, and so is every Resilience as a Service engagement we deliver.

We tailor what we run to your risk landscape, regulatory environment, business culture, and internal capabilities.

Common configurations

• Single-capability or full-program. Start with continuity or crisis management. Expand as you see what managed delivery does for your team.
• Hybrid models. Bryghtpath runs day-to-day operations while your team provides strategic oversight and direction.
• Regulatory overlays. FFIEC structuring for financial services. HIPAA alignment for healthcare. ISO 22301 for manufacturing and global enterprises.
• Executive and board engagement. Tabletop exercises, simulation exercises, board briefings, and C-suite playbooks.

Whether you need full program ownership or expert support in targeted areas, we design a solution that fits.

In our clients' words

“I didn’t have the time or the hands to run the program the way the board expected. Bryghtpath runs it now. I went from reporting on risk to leading the program that answers for it.”
– Resilience Lead, Mid-Market Financial Services

“I inherited a program nobody had touched in years.  Bryghtpath ran a Resiliency Diagnosis, kept what worked, and rebuilt the rest. Six months in, I have a program I can put in front of the board.”
– Head of Business Continuity, Healthcare

Why Bryghtpath

You don’t need another consultancy to tell you what you already know. You need practitioners who have done the work and will run the program with you.

We pioneered managed resilience services at scale, running fully operated programs for Fortune 500 clients long before the industry adopted the term. Our practitioners led these programs inside the organizations we now serve.

That practitioner depth shows up in every engagement, and it is what moves you from reporting risk to leading the program that answers for it.

What you get

• A senior practitioner team with Fortune 100 resilience leadership experience
• Our proprietary Resiliency Diagnosis®, delivering executive-level clarity on where your program stands in weeks, not months
• Our Resilience Operating Model® as the foundation for everything we build
• Our Crisis Playbook® and Exercise in a Box® libraries, accelerating plan and exercise development from the first day of the engagement
• Deep capability across business continuity, crisis management, IT disaster recovery, cybersecurity, and crisis communications, with no gaps between them
• Executive-ready reporting, dashboards, and maturity insights that hold up in board conversations

Credentials our clients rely on

Our practitioners hold the field’s senior certifications, including MBCP, MBCI, CBCP, and CISSP, as well as FEMA professional continuity credentials. Bryghtpath leaders helped author industry standards, have written extensively on resilience topics, and have led enterprise resilience inside Fortune 100 organizations for decades.

When we say we have done the work, this is what we mean.

Platforms we operate in
We are tool-agnostic, and that is a feature, not a limitation.

We run programs every day inside a variety of business continuity and crisis management tools, including Fusion Risk Management, Archer, ServiceNow, Everbridge, and OnSolve, and we are not tied to any of them.

A platform vendor’s services team knows one tool. We know the program, across whichever tools you have already invested in. If you need a new platform, we help you select and implement the right one for your business, not the one we happen to sell.

Our clients aren’t just ready for audits. They’re ready for the moment when it matters.

Hear from our CEO

Bryan Strawser, Principal and Chief Executive at Bryghtpath, breaks down how Resilience as a Service works, who it’s for, and how it differs from traditional consulting or adding internal headcount.

Frequently asked questions

We already have a tool or platform in place. Will you work in it?
Yes. We’re tool-agnostic. We work in Fusion Risk Management, Archer, OnSolve, Everbridge, or whatever you’ve already invested in. If you need a new platform, we help you select and implement one.

We have a small team and can’t add headcount. How is this different from just hiring another vendor we have to manage?
We don’t hand you advice and walk away. We run the program. You get the outcomes of a mature resilience function without adding staff and without the burden of managing scattered consultants. A single team, accountable for the work.

Our program is scattered across multiple plans and teams. Can you simplify rather than add to the mess?
Simplification is the default. One crisis team. One crisis plan. Severity levels people understand. Less, not more. That’s how we get programs that actually work when something happens.

Our previous program lead just left and we’re inheriting a program nobody’s touched in years. Can you help?
This is one of the most common reasons organizations call us. We run a Resiliency Diagnosis to baseline what you have, then either rebuild what’s out of date or keep what works and fill the gaps.

Our last tabletop exposed serious recovery gaps. Can you fix that specifically?
Yes. Post-exercise findings are a frequent engagement starting point. We map recovery dependencies, define sequencing, refine recovery time and recovery point objectives, and rehearse the recovery itself so the next exercise looks different.

We have a compliance deadline coming up. How fast can you move?
Most engagements launch within 30 days of contract signing, beginning with the Resiliency Diagnosis. For HITRUST, SOC 2, FFIEC, FINRA, or ISO 22301 deadlines, we’ve helped organizations get audit-ready in compressed timelines.

Can we engage just one capability, like crisis management or IT DR?
Absolutely. Many clients start with a single function and expand over time. Others engage the full program from day one. Both work.

How do you measure program success?
Maturity metrics, exercise outcomes, executive engagement, regulatory alignment, and response readiness. All of it captured in regular reports and dashboards, with quarterly business reviews to align the program against your strategic priorities.
