eBRP Suite: Toolkit
Toolkit
Implementing full BCM Lifecycle
Toolkit is the foundational module of the eBRP Suite, serving as the architect’s workspace for designing, configuring, and governing Enterprise Resiliency Programs. It functions as the single system of record for cataloging enterprise assets, modeling interdependencies, automating data updates, conducting BIAs, developing response plans, and enforcing governance through structured workflows and reporting.
Designed for expert stakeholders—administrators, program managers, planners, and auditors—Toolkit provides a secure, data-driven platform to define, maintain, and continuously improve resiliency across the enterprise.
- Setup, Configure, Customize Platform
- Define Program Policies
- Model the Enterprise (Catalog Assets, Dependencies)
- Program Management & Reporting
Planning (Impact Analysis)
Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
Toolkit supports the structured deployment of eBIA through configurable surveys, embedded workflows, and automated approvals—ensuring consistency and governance across business units.
- Capture Recovery Objectives: RTO, RPO, Criticality, Recovery Tiers
- Map Dependencies: Applications, Vendors, People, and Facilities
- Assess Impacts: Financial, regulatory, reputational, and seasonal ratings
All eBIA results feed directly into the Process Model, driving prioritized planning, strategy development, and real-time visualization in impact dashboards.
Process Model
The intelligence engine of eBRP Suite, the Process Model visualizes:
Asset → Process → Service → Mission relationships
Upstream/Downstream Impacts
SPOFs and Dependency chains
Recovery Tiering and Strategic prioritization
This model is auto-populated and maintained within Toolkit, driving impact dashboards and scenario analysis.
Risk Assessment
Toolkit enables integrated Risk Assessment by combining:
- Threat Modeling – identification of potential disruptive events
- Vulnerability Assessment – evaluation of weak points in critical assets
- Control Effectiveness – assessment of existing safeguards
These insights directly inform mitigation strategies and guide prioritized continuity planning.
"What If?" Simulation
Toolkit’s embedded “What-If?” Simulation allows users to test the impact of asset outages, regional threats, or cascading failures via Impact Dashboard. Integrated with GIS mapping, it visually highlights:
- Impact zones and threat footprints
- Alternate site availability
- Service continuity and recovery options
This capability supports proactive strategy evaluation and informed executive decision-making.
Maps
Toolkit’s interactive GIS-enabled maps provide real-time, visual insights into program components.
- Visualize assets, threats, and impacts
- Overlays and draw polygon cordons to define custom zones
- Leverage live data feeds from NOAA, NWS, USGS, and FEMA
This geospatial intelligence enhances situational awareness, enabling proactive risk evaluation and continuity strategy development.
Plan Development
Continuity & Response Plans
Create, manage, and test BC, DR, Crisis, and specialized Continuity Plans within Toolkit. Plans are directly tied to risk and impact analysis, ensuring real-world relevance.
Plan Components
Plans are modular and include:
- Objectives, Scenarios, Roles
- Task Sequences and Dependencies
- Communications and Escalation Paths
- Resource and Site Requirements
Plan Templates
Toolkit includes customizable templates and reusable content modules to ensure standardization and efficiency across departments and plan types.
Actionable & Flexible
Plans are execution-ready and integrate seamlessly with the CommandCentre module. Real-time updates, task tracking, and role-based task lists enhance adaptability during live events or exercises.
Scenarios & Exercises
Plans can be validated through scheduled tabletop exercises, role-based simulations, or scenario-triggered walk-throughs—all orchestrated from Toolkit and supported with audit-ready logs.
Dashboards & Reports
Dashboards & Reports
Dynamic, real-time dashboards fed by Toolkit data for Executive Decision Support.
Toolkit includes over 300 out-of-the-box reports—supporting audit, compliance, executive review, testing, and program health metrics.
Customizable & Ad-hoc Reporting
Users can generate role-based, filtered, or scenario-specific reports. Toolkit supports exporting, scheduling, and secure sharing of reporting artifacts.
Secure & Scalable
Secure
Built on industry-standard security practices, eBRP Suite enforces role-based access, encryption protocols, and data integrity safeguards across Toolkit workflows.
Flexible Deployment Model
eBRP Suite is available as:
Secure Cloud (powered by AWS)
On-premise deployment for compliance-sensitive environments
Robust SDLC
Toolkit is continuously improved through a secure, versioned development lifecycle ensuring high availability, functional depth, and platform integrity.
SAM - Security Access Manager
The integrated Security Access Manager (SAM) enables fine-grained permissions at the entity, workflow, and task level—ensuring governance alignment and operational accountability.
Program Management
Setup & Customization
Toolkit is where organizations define their Resiliency Program framework:
Business units, domains, regions
Entity types, naming conventions
Policy enforcement rules
Metadata Customization
All Toolkit entities (Processes, Vendors, Sites, Teams, etc.) are customizable through metadata attributes, allowing users to adapt the platform to their unique operational language and hierarchy.
Integration
Scheduled data imports from authoritative sources (e.g., CMDB, HR, Vendor Mgmt) ensure Toolkit maintains an accurate, real-time view of enterprise assets and dependencies.
Team & Policy Management
Toolkit provides administrators the ability to manage:
Response Teams and contact lists
Policy-driven review cycles
Compliance flags and approvals
Automated Workflow
Define and deploy automated workflows for:
BIA and Risk Assessment
Plan authoring and maintenance
Review scheduling and escalation management
Workflows improve accountability, reduce manual effort, and support audit readiness.
Program Administrators: Define and oversee resiliency policies, governance, and framework architecture.
eBRP Suite Administrators: Configure modules, manage integrations, access control, and platform behavior.
Line-of-Business Program Coordinators: Input and validate domain-specific data, support BIA/plan updates, and coordinate readiness activities.
Centralized Program Setup and Data Governance
Cross-functional BIA and Risk Assessment Execution
Response Plan Standardization and Maintenance
Regulatory and Audit Preparation
Testing and Scenario Simulation
Reporting to Executives, Auditors, and Stakeholders
Policy-Aligned Architecture: Establish a defensible, scalable, and role-based Resiliency Program
Operational Visibility: Connect dependencies across the enterprise for real-time insights and proactive response
Data Integrity & Governance: Maintain accurate and auditable program records
Integrated Continuity Planning: Enable seamless transition from analysis to execution
Enterprise-wide Readiness: Empower all lines of business to participate in resiliency efforts through structured workflows
While Toolkit remains the powerhouse for architecture, configuration, and governance, the stakeholder-centric eZPlanner module provides intuitive access for planners, responders, and executives—offering a modern interface, dashboarding, GIS, testing, and AI-driven insights.
Together, they enable a holistic, integrated, and future-ready Enterprise Resiliency Program.
