Your Disaster Recovery Plans Exist. Does It Actually Work?

Ardoq's IT Disaster Recovery Solution is an EA-native platform that connects every application to its DR Plan, DR Impact Assessment, and Technology Service dependencies in a single governed model. It auto-calculates whether technical RTO/RPO targets meet business impact tolerances, surfaces untested and orphaned plans, and produces structured regulatory evidence for DORA, CPS 230, ISO 22301, Basel Committee, and Central Bank of Ireland frameworks.

The solution structures DR documentation as architecture-backed evidence — not spreadsheets. Coverage, ownership, test history, and gap status are all queryable, so regulatory evidence is produced as a report rather than assembled by hand. The model directly addresses ICT continuity and resilience requirements in DORA Article 11, APRA CPS 230, ISO 22301, Basel Committee Operational Resilience Principles, and CBI Cross-Industry Guidance.

ServiceNow manages incidents and configuration items. It doesn't connect technical recovery targets to business impact tolerances or auto-calculate gap status. Ardoq gives your BCM and EA teams the 'does our plan actually meet our business's threshold?' layer. It also delivers business-level blast-radius analysis — not just 'which CI is down', but 'which business processes stop'. The two tools complement each other.

Primary users are Enterprise Architects and Business Continuity Managers who own the application model and recovery plans. Primary buyers are CIOs and CISOs accountable for DR obligations and regulatory posture. Compliance, Audit, and Leadership teams use the reporting outputs to approve Impact Tolerances and satisfy regulatory evidence requirements.

No. The solution is designed to work with imperfect data. Survey-driven data collection lets you govern the improvement process from day one. Organizations using this approach have reached 85%+ DR metadata coverage across 200+ application owners within weeks. You start with a governed process to improve data — not a requirement to have clean data before you begin.

Ask your account rep or CSM about enabling the IT Disaster Recovery solution on your existing Ardoq license. It uses component types you already have (Applications, Processes) — the DR metamodel is an extension, not a new platform.
