Business Continuity Planning

Principal workflows

• Analyze: Business impact analyses identify each unit's critical processes, the applications, vendors, people and locations they depend on, and the recovery time and point objectives the business needs.
• Plan: Continuity and disaster recovery plans are built from templates and the approved analysis, so contacts, dependencies and recovery steps stay connected to the data they come from.
• Exercise: Tabletop exercises, failover tests and recovery tests are scheduled, run and recorded in the platform, with results, timings and issues kept as the testing log.
• Evidence: Program status, test results and open remediation are reported to management and the board, and examiners get read-only access or exports instead of a manual binder.

Who uses it

• Business continuity and operational resilience managers at banks and credit unions
• Business-line plan owners who keep their unit's plan current
• IT disaster recovery leads responsible for application and infrastructure recovery
• Executives and crisis management teams who lead the response to a disruption
• Internal audit and examiners reviewing the continuity program

Reporting

• Plan and impact analysis currency by business line
• Exercise and test log with results against recovery objectives
• Recovery gaps between business needs and IT capability
• Open issues from exercises and reviews
• Program summary for the board
• Monthly service review of Moraph's work

Features

• Business impact analysis: Fusion collects each unit's critical processes, dependencies and recovery objectives through questionnaires Moraph configures to your methodology.
• Dependency mapping: Processes are linked to the applications, vendors, people and locations they rely on, so the effect of losing one is visible.
• Plan templates: Continuity, disaster recovery and crisis plans built from templates that follow your program standards.
• Connected plan data: Contacts, locations and application data in plans come from scheduled imports rather than retyping, so plans stay current as source data changes.
• Review and approval cycles: Plans and analyses carry review dates, owners and an approval step, with reminders as reviews come due.
• Exercise and test records: Every tabletop, failover and recovery test is recorded with its scope, participants, timings, results and issues.
• Recovery gap view: Recovery time objectives the business needs are compared with the recovery capability IT has recorded or demonstrated.
• Issue tracking: Findings from exercises and reviews are assigned, dated and tracked to closure.
• Third-party dependencies: Critical vendors are linked to the processes they support, so vendor resilience is part of the continuity picture.
• Incident management: During a disruption, Fusion gives the response team the affected processes, plans and contacts, and keeps a record of actions taken.
• Program dashboards: Plan currency, analysis completion, test coverage and open issues on dashboards Moraph builds for each audience.
• Managed administration: Moraph administers users, templates, imports and workflows, and handles changes through a logged request process.

Integrations

• HR system: Staff, managers, roles and locations imported on a schedule so plan contacts and alternates stay current.
• IT asset inventory or CMDB: Applications and infrastructure with their owners and recovery tiers, linked to the processes that depend on them.
• Vendor risk management: Critical vendors and their resilience information from Moraph's Vendor Risk Management (VRM) or your own vendor inventory.
• Facilities data: Branches, offices and data centers with addresses and capacity, used for location-loss scenarios.
• Emergency notification: Contact lists prepared for the notification tool you already use, where it accepts imports.
• Single sign-on: Staff sign in through your identity provider (SAML).
• Reporting exports: Program data exported to your data warehouse or governance, risk and compliance reporting.

Deployment

• Licensed through Moraph: Moraph resells the Fusion Risk Management subscription and runs it as a managed service, as one agreement with you.
• Your existing licence: Where you already license the platform, Moraph takes over implementation and administration, subject to the vendor's terms.
• Alongside Moraph software: Can be paired with Moraph's Vendor Risk Management (VRM) so third-party dependencies feed the continuity program.

Security and privacy

• Single sign-on: Staff sign in through your identity provider, so your password and multi-factor policies apply.
• Role-based access: Plan owners see their own unit's material; approving a plan is separate from writing one.
• Controlled administrator access: Moraph administrators use named accounts, and their access to your program data is limited, logged and reviewed with you.
• Audit history: Changes to plans, approvals, exercise records and configuration are logged with the person and time.
• Encryption and keys: Configuration exports and service records Moraph holds are encrypted, with keys Moraph staff cannot use without explicit, time-bound authorization. Data in the platform is protected under Fusion Risk Management's own controls.
• Moraph controls: Moraph's managed services operate under its SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 audited controls, and service records stay in the US, UK or Australia region you choose.

Limitations

• Moraph is not the vendor. Fusion Risk Management owns and operates the platform, and its own service commitments, roadmap and outages apply.
• Licences are subject to Fusion Risk Management's terms, including any limits on users, modules and data.
• Moraph does not run your recovery. Failover, system recovery and business recovery are performed by your staff and providers; the platform records the plans and results.
• Recovery objectives, plan approval, test scope and acceptance of findings are your organization's decisions.
• Plan quality depends on the source data you provide and on plan owners keeping their content current.
• Mass emergency notification is not part of this service. Contact lists can be prepared for the notification tool you already use.
• Moraph does not certify that your program meets regulatory expectations; it helps you produce and organize the evidence.
• Features available depend on the platform modules you license.
