Understand
Map systems, dependencies and goals. Agree priorities together.
Monitoring tells you something happened. What matters is who understands the alert, starts the response and verifies the result. Those handoffs belong in the operating model.
Agree access boundaries, MFA and joiner/leaver processes for roles and privileged accounts. Define who investigates unusual sign-ins and when to escalate.
Approved communication paths define zones, firewall rules and remote access. Record changes and review unknown connections against agreed needs.
An alert needs meaning and an owner. Agree priorities, escalation, maintenance windows and communication for alerts and tickets before the first incident.
Recovery order follows required data and applications. Align RPO/RTO targets, backups and restore tests; test records capture gaps and corrective work.
Risk acceptance and changes need named decision-makers. Record policies, exceptions and evidence and review them regularly against business goals.
Map systems, dependencies and goals. Agree priorities together.
Agree target architecture, effort, risks and responsibilities.
Implement changes in a controlled way. Include tests and rollback options.
Accept results, document changes and agree ongoing operations.
The operating model defines when a signal is reviewed, escalated or closed. These agreements apply to the systems explicitly in scope.
| Decision point | What to clarify | Delivery outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Detect | The source, threshold and affected service are known. | A verifiable event with a timestamp and owner. |
| Decide | Impact, priority and approval rights are checked. | A traceable action or documented escalation. |
| Close | Functional check, update and any follow-up work. | Service status and remaining issues are recorded. |
Together we clarify which tasks stay in-house and where ENDURION can help.
