A methodology for turning standards into real capability.
Digital Survival Pyramid® integrates strategy, continuity and technical recovery into a living, measurable and test-driven process.
The pyramid.
DSP organizes digital resilience into three interdependent layers. BIA identifies impacts and priorities. BCP defines continuity and decision making. DRP operationalizes technical recovery. The strength of the method lies in continuous feedback between these layers.
BIA, strategic
Maps critical processes, time-based impacts, dependencies, MTD, priorities and real tolerance to interruption.
BCP, tactical
Defines continuity strategies, communication, roles, escalation, operational alternatives and real-time adaptation.
DRP, operational
Defines how to recover environments, data, applications and infrastructure, with RTO, RPO, MTTR and restore testing.
Why it is different.
It does not start with the tool
It starts with business impact and arrives at the technologies required to survive, recover and prove capability.
It does not end with the report
The report is only a snapshot. DSP creates a cycle of updates, tests, adjustments and new measurement.
It does not treat backup as certainty
Backup is considered valid when restoration was tested, time was measured and data returned intact.
It does not force compliance
When evidence, responsibilities, tests and controls exist, compliance becomes a consequence.
