A new RIMS survey-based report explores a disconnect between recovery confidence and actual results during incidents.
A total of 500 senior leaders across audit, risk, compliance, business continuity, IT resilience, and cyber security were surveyed, and the results included:
- 92% are confident in their ability to meet recovery time objectives (RTOs).
- Only 39% successfully met their RTO during their most significant disruption.
- 40% reported disruption-related losses exceeding $1 million.
The report explores the reasons behind these results and looks at:
- Why documented plans still break down under real-world pressure.
- Where AI is introducing new business continuity and resilience risks.
- What high-performing business continuity and resilience programs do differently to recover faster and reduce business impact.
