Operational Cyber Resilience

Modern businesses rely on hundreds of suppliers, each potentially exposing your organisation to security threats.

Manual risk assessments are time-consuming, quickly outdated, and often incomplete, making it harder to meet compliance and protect your digital perimeter.

Cyber criminals increasingly exploit third-party weaknesses. Without constant oversight, these gaps can lead to breaches, operational disruption, or regulatory fines. A static snapshot isn’t
enough, organisations need ongoing visibility and expert action.

These resources from Core to Cloud delve into how you can improve your operational cyber resilience.

The Cyber Resilience Control Room

Know what would fail, before it does.

A practical, evidence-based way for security leaders to test whether their cyber security environment would actually survive a real incident, not just look good on paper. It's not a maturity model, or a vendor pitch.

A set of three targeted control checks that answer the questions boards, regulators and CISOs are now being judged on.

How it works

You don’t “buy” the Control Room. You enter it. Each module is a stand-alone, low-friction diagnostic that gives you something immediately useful, even if you do nothing else.

You can do one; most teams end up doing two. High-risk environments do all three.

Why this works for security leaders

Most programmes start with:

• Controls
• Frameworks
• Tooling

The Cyber Resilience Control Room starts with:

• Impact
• Dependencies
• Real-world failure
• Aligning critical parts around the same truth

The simple choice

You don’t need a big programme to get value. Pick the one that matches where you’re most exposed right now:

• Worried about DORA, outages or recovery: Impact Under Fire
• Worried about suppliers and cloud risk: Who Can Hurt You
• Worried about control gaps and spend: Control Reality
• Do one, get the clarity, then decide what to do next with the evidence.

About Core to Cloud

This series is featured in our community because it reflects conversations increasingly happening among senior security and risk leaders.

Much of the industry focuses on tools and threats with far less attention given to how confidence is formed, tested, and sustained under scrutiny. The perspective explored here addresses that gap without promoting solutions or prescribing action.

Core to Cloud is referenced because its work centres on operational reality rather than maturity claims. Their focus on decision-making, evidence, and validation aligns with the purpose of this publication: helping leaders ask better questions before pressure forces answers.
