Resilience. Preparedness. Operational Assurance.

Operational disruption is no longer a matter of if — but when.

The Clarent360 Continuity of Operations Program (COOP) enables organizations to maintain critical operations, protect sensitive information, and recover rapidly from cyber incidents, system failures, and large-scale disruptions.

This program establishes an integrated, enterprise-wide approach to Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) that aligns cybersecurity, privacy, governance, and operational resilience into a single coordinated capability.

Program Overview

The Continuity of Operations Program provides user-oriented guidance that defines how an organization continues operating under adverse conditions.

Clarent360’s COOP framework introduces critical operational concepts that connect:

Mission objectives
Operational expectations
Integrated business and technology systems
Enterprise risk management practices

The program ensures secure processes are implemented consistently across the organization while enabling proactive identification and management of operational risk.

Clarent360 evaluates both technical and non-technical safeguards to validate the effectiveness of continuity controls and strengthen organizational resilience.

Concept of Operations (CONOPS) — Business Continuity

The COOP establishes a clear Concept of Operations (CONOPS) that guides how continuity capabilities function across the enterprise.

Key objectives include:

Maintaining cybersecurity and privacy protections during disruption

Enabling coordinated response across business and technology functions

Supporting executive decision-making through operational visibility

Capability Need

Clarent360’s Continuity of Operations capability ensures that cybersecurity and data protection risks are clearly understood by Line of Business (LOB) stakeholders responsible for critical assets and operational processes.

The program delivers:

Expert advisory and education on BC/DR management
Governance oversight for executive leadership
Accountability across business units and operational stakeholders
Enterprise visibility into continuity risks

The COOP framework enables organizations to proactively manage resilience while ensuring leadership can effectively oversee and enforce continuity responsibilities.

Comprehensive COOP Framework

The Continuity of Operations Program establishes a structured framework for:

BCMS System

Creating and sustaining a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS)

CIAS Protection

Protecting the Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, and Safety (CIAS) of systems, applications, services, and data

Risk Governance

Governing cybersecurity and data protection risks across highly networked environments

Control Maintenance

Developing, reviewing, and maintaining continuity controls and supporting documentation

This framework ensures continuity management practices remain secure, consistent, and sustainable.

Operating Concept

Clarent360 aligns continuity and security practices with recognized cybersecurity frameworks such as:

ISO 27002

NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)

NIST SP 800-53 / 800-171

CIS Critical Security Controls

Organizations select the framework most aligned to their regulatory and operational environment while maintaining a consistent maturity objective of establishing standardized, secure, and repeatable practices across the enterprise.

Building a Culture of Resilience

Effective continuity programs extend beyond documentation — they require organizational culture and long-term strategy.

Clarent360 supports organizations through a multi-year continuity strategy that:

Holistically manages BC/DR risk across:
- Business operations and assets
- Clients and service delivery obligations
- Third-party partners and service providers
Implements continuity strategy consistently across all business units
Continuously reviews and evolves capabilities to address organizational change and emerging threats

Enterprise Continuity Strategy

Clarent360’s approach focuses on cost-effective and sustainable resilience.

The continuity strategy includes:

Governance of enterprise COOP processes

Supporting policies, standards, and SOPs

Risk-based security measures

Disaster and incident readiness

Continuous BC/DR improvement

Security controls are implemented commensurate with assessed risk to ensure practical protection without unnecessary operational burden.

Key Outcomes
