Optro Launches Business Continuity Management Solution for Operational Resilience

Optro's Groundbreaking Business Continuity Management Solution

In a world where business disruptions are increasingly common, the need for effective continuity management is paramount. Optro, formerly known as AuditBoard, recently launched a pioneering solution aimed at addressing this very challenge. The solution is designed to synchronize critical business processes with Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) data, providing organizations with the operational resilience they need to thrive despite uncertainties.

The Launch Announcement

The announcement made on June 11, 2026, occurred during the CRX EMEA, the prominent global conference hosted by Optro for its clientele in London. Optro, recognized as a leading AI-driven GRC platform, is committed to transforming risks into opportunities for businesses.

As part of this launch, Optro released its insightful report titled "When Business Continuity Fails.” This report highlights the overconfidence many organizational leaders have regarding their recovery capabilities after business interruptions. Surprisingly, while 92% of executives express confidence in their ability to achieve recovery objectives, fewer than half of those who faced disruptions in the last two years succeeded in meeting those goals. Moreover, 40% of such incidents result in losses exceeding $1 million.

Bridging the Gap in Business Continuity Management

Optro's new solution is tailored to address these alarming statistics. Designed to enhance organizational resilience, it offers a few key features:

1. Cross-functional Visibility: The platform enables businesses to map essential processes along with their dependencies, stakeholders, suppliers, and associated risks within a single view. This holistic approach ensures businesses are prepared to manage interruptions effectively.

2. Always-Up-to-date Plans: By linking plans directly to processes, the solution automatically updates criticality levels, recovery time objectives, and recovery point objectives in real-time as assessments evolve.

3. Real-time Disruption Simulations: The platform integrates theoretical exercises with actual business continuity plans, offering a comprehensive overview that incorporates all related processes and dependencies.

This dual focus on risk management and operational response underscores Optro's belief that companies can bridge the gap between the two areas, leading to more robust resilience strategies.

Industry Expert Insights

With insights from industry professionals, the value of Optro's BCM solution becomes clear. Kate Marechal, Director of Operational Risk and Risk Management Services at Shawbrook Bank, shared, “This solution will allow us to bridge the gap between risk management and operational response. By having a comprehensive view of our operational processes within the same platform used for auditing, risk management, and compliance, we can better identify critical elements, anticipate disruptions, and rigorously test our plans.”

Similarly, Happy Wang, Optro's Product and Technology Director, emphasized the transformation that this new tool facilitates, “Most companies trust their continuity plans as they exist on paper, but when a real disruption occurs, less than half manage to meet their objectives. Our BCM solution helps clients integrate their continuity programs smoothly with their audit, risk management, and compliance data.”

Discovering the Solution in Action

Attendees at CRX EMEA had the opportunity to see Optro's BCM solution in action at their demonstration booth. This is a crucial step toward empowering organizations to transition from static reporting to proactive strategies that embody true operational resilience.
