Operation Resilience: Know Your Strength’s address your weaknesses

Kyndryl helps you confidently understand how resilient and recoverable your organisation’s most important business services truly are—leveraging AWS products and services such as AWS Backup, AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to ensure that, no matter the scale or nature of disruption, you can continue delivering the products and services that define your Minimum Viable Company. Our approach gives you clarity on what really matters: knowing whether your organisation can withstand, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents, technology failures, supply chain disruptions, or operational shocks—utilising AWS native tools to safeguard customer trust and maintain business continuity.

Whether you need independent assessment that your current controls align to your regulatory obligations such as DORA, NIS2, or SEC incident disclosure rules, or you simply want confidence that your business can continue trading after a major cyberattack or infrastructure outage. Kyndryl provides a clear, expert led assessment of your end-to-end operational resiliency posture. Our specialists combine deep industry, cybersecurity, continuity, and recovery expertise to give you a fact-based understanding of your true resilience maturity—far beyond a traditional audit or paperwork driven review.

We move beyond simply diagnosing your current resilience posture. We pinpoint gaps, vulnerabilities, and single points of failure throughout your continuity, backup, recovery, and crisis response strategies—leveraging AWS services such as AWS Backup, AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery, and AWS Security Hub. Our assessment evaluates your organisation’s ability to restore critical systems within your defined impact tolerances and determines whether your operating model, technologies—including AWS native tools—and processes can achieve the rapid and scalable recovery your business demands. We simulate real-world scenarios, including ransomware encryption, cloud control plane compromise, data integrity loss, insider threats, extended supply chain interruptions, and concurrent disruptions across multiple AWS services, to ensure your resilience is robust and future ready.

From this assessment, we deliver a practical, prioritised, and actionable roadmap designed to strengthen resilience where it matters most. This roadmap helps you recover faster, reduce operational and financial risk, and protect your customers, brand, and long-term business viability. It ensures your leadership teams, risk committees, and board members have the information and confidence they need to meet governance responsibilities and regulatory expectations.

Additional benefits include:

• Clear visibility of organisational dependencies—mapping critical business services to the applications, platforms, third parties, data flows, and recovery processes they rely upon.

• Evidence-based insight for executives and regulators—giving you transparent, defensible reporting aligned to emerging global standards in resilience and cyber recovery.

• Stronger cross-functional alignment between IT, security, risk, business operations, and suppliers, ensuring everyone is working from the same assumptions with the same understanding of what “good” looks like.

• Improved crisis readiness, helping your teams understand the realistic impacts of disruptions, how to respond effectively, and how to govern decision making under pressure.

• Enhanced investment justification, enabling you to prioritise resilience spend based on quantified business impact rather than assumptions or legacy practices.

• Confidence in your technical recovery capabilities, including the integrity, immutability, and recoverability of your data—especially in the face of modern cyberthreats that target backups and recovery systems.

• Reduced downtime and financial exposure, through targeted improvements to recovery time, recovery point, orchestration, automation, and failover capabilities across your environment.

• Greater customer and partner trust, demonstrating that your organisation is prepared, resilient, and committed to protecting service availability and data integrity.

With Kyndryl, you gain a partner who brings deep expertise, proven methodologies, and hands-on experience helping global enterprises navigate today’s operational resilience challenges. Our goal is simple: to ensure you remain resilient, compliant, and ready to recover your most critical services—no matter what disruption comes your way.
