Practice 05 / Connectivity & recovery
Edge Security & Resilient Enterprise Connectivity
A second circuit is useful only if the business can use it.
The operational risk
A second circuit is useful only if the business can use it.
Two connections may share a physical dependency. An exposed edge appliance or untested failover can still stop calls, payments and dispatch.
“You have redundancy and an uptime SLA.”
Make the responsibility visible.
A service credit does not restore operations. You need to understand route diversity, application behavior, configuration ownership and recovery steps.
The B3 deliverable
What you receive
- A DIA / IP transit dependency and carrier-responsibility map.
- A route-diversity evidence review covering known shared infrastructure and remaining unknowns.
- An edge management and remote-access exposure review.
- An agreed failover validation plan with application-level acceptance measures.
- A renewal comparison, outage escalation sheet and prioritized resilience investment brief.
Who this is for
Multi-site businesses, manufacturers, public-sector operators and organizations dependent on voice or cloud services.
Evidence needed to begin
- Carrier contracts and circuit inventory
- Approved network diagrams
- Failover configuration records
- Outage history and business recovery targets
Acceptance criteria
A result you can inspect.
Critical applications have an agreed failover target and a documented test result, or a recorded gap with an accountable remediation owner.
Show us a failover test that restored our actual critical applications, including the elapsed time and every shared dependency.Scope this engagement →
Roles and boundaries
