Community and regional banks carry the same operational-resilience expectations as the big institutions — business continuity, disaster recovery, third-party and core-provider oversight, and a tested incident-response plan — but with a fraction of the team. Examiners increasingly assess whether the program actually works: live, tested, and evidenced across every vendor and branch you depend on. Resilis makes the program real, keeps it current between exams, and runs the incident if one comes.
Continuity plan on paper · never tested · vendor evidence assembled on request
Live · dependency-mapped · tested · exam-ready
Open the shape that fits — the answer is the part of Resilis built for it.
The platform acts as your program co-developer — it leverages what you already have, runs consistency checks across your plans, policies and procedures, and flags the gaps an examiner would. Your risk officer stops being the runbook, and a program refresh that used to take weeks takes days.
Resilis is built to run an incident, not just document one. A guided tabletop produces the cheapest credible evidence an examiner looks for — proof the plan was exercised, with a dated record to show for it. And if a real disruption comes, you run it from the same platform. That's the part the binder was never going to do.
Dependency and vendor mapping is native to the platform, not a spreadsheet you rebuild each year. It captures where your key operations actually run — your core provider, item processing, cloud, correspondent and fintech partners — so you map the whole operating model and stress-test it before something breaks. Third-party oversight evidence becomes something you pull on demand, in line with interagency guidance, not a project you reassemble each exam cycle.
The platform brings stakeholders together so the response spans your whole footprint — not just the branch where the disruption started, and with vendors and external partners inside it rather than a separate scramble. Technology, operations and the business stay naturally aligned, with the platform as challenger. When something happens, the response is co-orchestrated: you decide, while the platform proposes the next move based on your plans and the situation in front of you.
The core, item processing, cloud and correspondent web assembling itself — each node carrying its own oversight evidence, with concentration and gaps flagged before an incident finds them.
The live operating picture during an incident — tasks, owners, the 36-hour regulator-notification clock running, every action written to a dated logbook. The program as something you run, not retrieve.
Resilis covers the operational-resilience core examiners focus on — business continuity and disaster recovery, third-party and core-provider oversight, incident response and testing, and the evidence behind them — in line with the FFIEC Business Continuity Management guidance and interagency third-party risk-management guidance. The same engine was built for Europe's NIS2 and DORA, so it is the operational-resilience layer that works alongside your controls for access, encryption, and the rest of your security stack.
Resilis runs on infrastructure independently certified to ISO 27001, HDS and PCI-DSS — encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege access, strict tenant isolation, 24/7 monitoring, and daily backups with tested restoration. And Resilis runs separately, by design, from the systems it protects — so when your own environment is under attack, the platform coordinating the response is the one still standing.
An independent advisor who works alongside Resilis on its US expansion — eighteen years in global-bank COO offices running regulatory remediation and Dodd-Frank implementation at regulated financial institutions. They've been on the side of the table that assembles the evidence when a regulator comes, and know what holds under that pressure. Not a compliance advisor, and this isn't compliance advice — an operator showing you how this evidence is typically examined.
The expectations on community and regional banks keep moving: sharper focus on business-continuity testing, third-party and core-provider concentration, and a computer-security incident-notification rule that gives you 36 hours to notify your primary federal regulator. A program that only exists on paper is fine until the exam — or the incident — is the moment it has to work. Getting ahead of the next review now is far cheaper than rebuilding under one.
Not a demo, and not a compliance assessment — a working session on evidence. A resilience program isn't examined on whether you have one; it's examined on what you can produce. You'll leave knowing which artifacts you could pull today and which you'd be reconstructing under pressure.
