DIAGNOSTIC · FREE INITIAL SCREENING

Where does your continuity plan need review?

Six questions connect impact, time, dependencies, activation, recovery evidence and return to normal.

This screening identifies self-reported review priorities. It does not calculate an actual continuity gap, verify your evidence or issue an activation or recovery gate decision.
