Even mature organizations struggle to coordinate resilience across legal, IT, operations, and compliance. Without a unified approach, response plans fail under pressure, audit findings repeat, and transformation initiatives stall. The cost isn’t just downtime, it’s eroded trust, missed agility, and weakened strategic execution.
