Enterprise Resilience Assessment
Prove your critical systems survive — before an outage or the regulator does it for you.
Hands-on resilience engineering — chaos, load-to-failure, DR and SLOs — mapped to BNM RMiT and MAS. Not another compliance deck. And when a test firm has already run your testing, we audit whether they actually did it right.
Track record of the lead platform engineer running your assessment.
Compliance theatre passes the audit. It doesn't survive Monday.
Two things pass for resilience today, and neither is real. A resilience framework nobody ever engineered or tested — a binder that looks good until production disagrees. And a load test that was 'run' but with unrealistic load, the wrong scenarios, and a green report nobody checked. BNM RMiT and MAS now want evidence, not either of those.
The differentiator
Did your test firm actually do it right?
This is where we sit above the 60 load-testing shops rather than next to them. When you've already paid for load testing or a resilience exercise, we independently audit the work: was the load realistic and at the right concurrency, were the failure scenarios the ones that matter, was the analysis sound, were the conclusions honest — or was it theatre with a green tick?
We've run 50+ of these audits. It's the second opinion a CTO wants before trusting a report — and the evidence a regulator wants that the testing was real.
What an audit tells you
- Was the load realistic — real concurrency, think-time and data, not a toy script?
- Did it cover the scenarios that actually break you, or only the happy path?
- Was the analysis sound, or did a green dashboard hide a saturated dependency?
- Do the conclusions hold — or would the system still fall over on the real peak?
What we assess — and prove
Hands-on across the five things that decide whether a system survives real load and real failure.
SLOs & error budgets
We set real service-level objectives for your critical journeys and measure against them — not vanity uptime, the numbers that decide whether a customer is served.
Failure-mode & chaos testing
We inject the failures that actually happen — a dependency down, a region out, a cloud provider having a bad hour — and watch whether the system degrades gracefully or falls over.
Load-to-failure & capacity
We push the system to its breaking point on purpose, so you know the real ceiling and the failure behaviour — before a campaign or a market open finds it for you.
DR & recovery (MTTR)
We test the recovery, not just the backup: can you actually fail over, and how long does it really take? Most DR plans have never been run end-to-end.
Observability & incident readiness
Would you even know? We check whether the signals, alerts, runbooks and on-call can detect and recover a real incident — the difference between minutes and days.
Mapped to BNM RMiT & MAS — evidence, not a binder
BNM's RMiT (updated 28 November 2025) requires regulated institutions to run regular drills and simulations to test operational resilience and incident response; MAS sets equivalent technology-risk and operational-resilience expectations. We map every finding to the relevant controls, so one engagement gives you genuine engineering assurance and the regulatory evidence to show for it. A starting point for your risk and compliance teams — not legal advice.
How we engage
Scope & discovery
We agree the critical systems, the failure scenarios that matter, and the RMiT/MAS controls in play.
Hands-on assessment
We engineer and run the tests — chaos, load-to-failure, DR fail-over — and gather the evidence.
Report & remediation
An evidence-based resilience report, mapped to the controls, with a prioritised remediation roadmap — and an optional assurance retainer.
Frequently asked questions
Those deliver governance and BCM advisory — frameworks, checklists, board reports. Valuable, but they don't engineer or test anything. We do the hands-on work: chaos experiments, load-to-failure, DR fail-over, SLO engineering — and produce evidence the systems actually survive, not a slide deck saying they should. We map that evidence to the same controls, so it satisfies the regulator and the engineer.
Plenty of teams pay for a load test or a resilience exercise and get a green report — but was the load realistic, were the right scenarios covered, was the analysis sound, were the conclusions real? Having run 50+ of these audits, we independently review your (or your vendor's) testing and tell you plainly whether it was rigorous or theatre. Under BNM RMiT and MAS, the regulator increasingly wants evidence the testing was real — this is that evidence.
Yes. BNM's RMiT (updated 28 Nov 2025) requires financial institutions to run regular drills and simulations to test operational resilience and incident response; MAS has equivalent technology-risk and operational-resilience expectations. We map every finding to the relevant controls so the assessment does double duty — genuine engineering assurance and regulatory evidence. Treat it as a strong starting point for your risk and compliance teams, not legal advice.
Yes. Any business where an outage costs real money — retail at peak, a platform under load, a critical service — benefits from knowing its true resilience before customers find the edge. The regulatory mapping is there when you need it; the engineering value stands on its own.
A senior platform engineer who has handled 300+ production incidents, run 30+ resilience assessments and audited 50+ load-testing engagements — hands-on, not a junior with a template. That practitioner depth is the point: we've seen how systems actually fail, so we know where to push.
A focused assessment of a critical system is typically a matter of weeks — scoping, hands-on testing, then an evidence-based report with a prioritised remediation roadmap. A broader programme or an ongoing assurance retainer runs longer; we scope it after a short discovery.

Is your resilience real, or on paper?
Tell us your critical systems and where you're under BNM RMiT / MAS pressure, and we'll scope a hands-on resilience assessment — or audit the testing you've already had done.
