A practical framework to define your Minimum Vital Company — vital activities, critical processes, and the data each function needs to keep running under any disruption.
The Minimum Vital Company (MVC) is the smallest operational footprint your organisation needs to sustain its most critical business activities through a severe disruption. It is not a disaster recovery plan. It is not an IT runbook. It is a business-side definition of what must keep working — and a precise specification of how.
Most organisations can name their critical processes in the abstract. Fewer have mapped the data, approvals, counterparties, and execution steps those processes actually require. Fewer still have tested whether those processes can run when primary systems are unavailable.
This 18-page guide provides the methodology, worksheets, and worked examples to define your MVC and turn it into executable continuity procedures.
