Whether you’re stress-testing critical dependencies, running live scenario simulations from the field, or briefing the Board in real time, Battleground brings your risk data, impact tolerances and crisis-response tools together in one dynamic platform. It gives you the power to respond faster, protect what matters and build an organisation that stays ahead of disruption, anytime and anywhere.
1. Switch on Dark Mode to Work Comfortably Anywhere
Match your display to your environment, day or night. Toggle seamlessly between light and dark modes (or auto-sync to your OS) to review operational data and manage incidents on mobile or desktop without eye strain.
Automatic System Sync: Set Battleground to automatically match your operating system’s default light or dark theme.
Manual Override: Toggle freely between Light Mode and Dark Mode at any time via user preferences.
Optimised Legibility: All dashboard visualisations, charts, and dependency diagrams have been high-contrast tuned for both modes.
2. Map Critical Dependencies and Spot Single Points of Failure Instantly
See exactly how your business connects in real time. Visualise upstream and downstream relationships across critical operations, third-party vendors, and core systems so you can identify bottlenecks before they cause downtime.
Key Capabilities
Resilience Posture Scorecard: Instantly view overall organisational resilience metrics, open critical operations, and vendor criticality distributions.
Single Points of Failure (SPOF) Tracking: Automatically flags high-risk dependencies and single points of failure across systems and third-party vendors.
Interactive Dependency Mapping: Visualise upstream and downstream relationships across critical operations, key dependencies, resources, and impact tolerances in real time.
3. Stress-Test Outages Before They Strike in the What-If Scenario Lab
Simulate real-world disruptions with zero operational risk. Model application failures, supplier collapses, or payment outages to see immediate fallout against your Maximum Tolerable Periods of Disruption (MTPD).
Failure Simulation: Select an asset, vendor, or critical application (e.g., payment gateways, cloud hosting, or key suppliers) to model immediate downstream fallout.
Breach Impact & Tolerance Analysis: View projected financial, operational, and regulatory impact against defined Maximum Tolerable Periods of Disruption (MTPD).
Control Strength Benchmarking: Review which control layers are tested, which are at risk of being breached, and where failover redundancy is required.
4. Get Instant ‘So What?’ Impact Summaries with Built-in AI
Turn complex operational data into actionable intelligence in seconds with optional AI assistant. Ask questions via natural-language chat to reveal the true business consequences of open risks and generate prioritised corrective actions automatically.
‘So What?’ Automated Impact Summaries: Generates concise, plain-English summaries explaining the real-world operational and business consequences of identified risks or gaps.
Contextual Chat Assistant: Query your organisation’s resilience data directly (e.g., “Which Tier 1 operations rely on this vendor?” or “What controls require testing this quarter?”).
Actionable Recommendations: Delivers prioritised corrective action steps based on your current posture and historical incidents.
5. Generate Audit-Ready Board and Regulatory Reports in Minutes
Stop spending hours manually assembling compliance packs. Use a guided setup wizard to produce tailored, executive-level resilience summaries for the Board, Risk Committee, or regulators with single-click PDF export.
Tailored Report Profiles: Generate pre-structured reports for different stakeholder groups, including the Board, Risk Committee, and Regulators.
Guided Setup Wizard: Answer a few targeted prompts (reporting scope, period, key areas of focus, and decision requirements) to produce a structured executive draft.
Export Options: Export clean, board-ready executive summaries or complete technical appendices directly to PDF or editable formats.
6. Convert Any BIA into an Actionable Business Continuity Plan with One Click
Eliminate double-handling between assessments and response documents. Instantly transform completed Business Impact Analyses (BIAs) into fully formatted, print-ready Business Continuity Plans for any department or operational tier.
Instant BCP Generation: Convert approved Business Impact Analyses (BIAs) into comprehensive, formatted Business Continuity Plans with a single click.
Centralised BIA Management: Track draft, active, and archived BIAs across all business units, geographies, and operational tiers.
Print & Export Ready: Distribute digital runbooks or generate hard-copy crisis documentation directly from the module.
7. Build and Run Interactive Crisis Simulations in Minutes Using AI
Design realistic, scenario-based drills without weeks of planning. Let AI construct dynamic injects, from fake media alerts and email threads to live phone injects—and scale your exercises across Crawl, Walk, or Run intensity levels.
Built with AI Assist: The builder analyses your live system dependencies, vendor lists, and critical operations to generate custom scenario injects and realistic timelines.
Flexible Exercise Depth: Select your preferred exercise intensity—from foundational tabletop discussions to complex, multi-channel live exercises (Crawl, Walk, or Run).
Interactive Injects & Channels: Deliver dynamic injects (simulated emails, phone calls, social media alerts, and news broadcasts) during live drills.
Structured Debriefs: Capture decisions, participant performance, and key learnings in real time to feed directly into continuous improvement plans.
