An Incident Plan Is Not the Same as Incident Readiness.
Plans may exist without clear decision authority, current contact information, coordinated vendor responsibilities, tested communications, validated recovery assumptions, or leadership familiarity with the first critical hours of an incident.
SENTRICUS helps organizations examine those dependencies before a real event exposes them.
