Archer Business Continuity Management

Archer Business Continuity Management is an enterprise operational resilience and crisis management solution engineered to help organizations anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents, natural disasters, and cyber crises. Operating as a cornerstone of the Archer IRM platform, it provides automated business impact analyses (BIA), disaster recovery plan orchestration, and real-time incident notification capabilities.

The platform functions across on-premises environments and cloud SaaS infrastructures, integrating with enterprise asset repositories, CMDB systems, and mass notification tools like Everbridge and xMatters. It correlates business processes with underlying IT applications, facility locations, third-party vendors, and human resources to establish detailed operational dependency maps. Primary organizational use cases include conducting enterprise-wide business impact analyses, authoring and updating disaster recovery plans, coordinating crisis tabletop exercises, and orchestrating emergency response workflows during live business disruptions.

Featuring automated dependency modeling and plan activation runbooks, Archer Business Continuity Management ensures that critical business functions can be restored within defined recovery time objectives. Risk and continuity leaders gain executive dashboards displaying operational resilience maturity, outstanding BIA assessments, and recovery plan validation statuses. The solution minimizes operational downtime, protects corporate revenue streams, and ensures compliance with international business continuity standards like ISO 22301.
