Assess, monitor, and report resilience risks, key metrics, and remediation status, escalating concerns where gaps could materially impact recovery expectations. Support testing and validation activities to confirm recovery plans and approaches are practical, current, and effective. Support crisis management activities as needed, including incident inputs, coordination support, and post‑incident lessons learned and continuous improvement actions.
