Understand what your critical operations depend on, where vulnerabilities exist and what needs attention.
Start with the dependencies that could affect more than one workflow.
Several critical activities rely on the same integration service. A disruption could affect multiple operational workflows.
Recovery of a critical integration service may depend on specialist knowledge held by one employee.
An alternative supplier exists but may not have sufficient capacity or readiness to maintain normal operations.
Baseline exposure stays unchanged until improvements are validated with evidence. Proposed residual exposure is modelled.
Five critical activities. One connected operational environment.
| Main Vulnerability | Evidence Status | Action | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations Manager | Shared integration and concentrated recovery knowledge | High | Needs review | |
| Warehouse Supervisor | Shared ERP and integration dependency | High | Confirmed | |
| Warehouse Supervisor | Warehouse instructions rely on shared integration | High | Confirmed | |
| Operations Manager | Delivery updates depend on current order information | Moderate | Confirmed | |
| Procurement Manager | Limited supplier capacity and single approver | Insufficient Evidence | Needs review |
A closer look at the dependencies shared across critical workflows.
Exposure categories are illustrative, based on dependency concentration, recovery constraints and usable alternatives. Findings require human review.
