Planned tests that verify the effectiveness of emergency and recovery plans.
Emergency exercises involve simulating an incident to verify whether emergency plans, responsibilities, and recovery processes work in practice. The range extends from pure plan reviews (tabletop exercises) through partial tests of individual systems to full recovery exercises. The aim is to identify weaknesses before an actual outage occurs and to demonstrate response capability. In regulated industries — for example under DORA — regular testing of digital resilience is mandatory.
For service providers, emergency exercises are a frequent audit point: clients want to know whether and how often you test your emergency plans and what results were achieved. The evidence lies in exercise reports and concepts that have to be retrieved anew for every inquiry. These questions recur across clients and tenders alike. Those who keep exercise documentation and its key statements readily at hand can demonstrate their resilience quickly and credibly.
With Tendry, you keep the evidence and key statements relating to your emergency exercises readily available as verified knowledge. This allows you to answer questions about your testing activities immediately, rather than having to gather reports together each time.
