The Global Regulatory Landscape
45+ regulations and standards across five tiers - every one converging on the same demand: prove your resilience through tested, evidenced scenario exercises. Filter the universe below, and open any framework for detail.
45+ frameworks. Five tiers. One evidence layer.
Regulations that name scenario exercises, tabletops, or BCM/DR testing as a direct obligation.
Rules that require tested, demonstrated resilience without prescribing scenario-testing by name.
Advanced, intelligence-led red-team testing of critical live systems - increasingly the global benchmark.
The ISO and NIST standards that tell practitioners how to design, run, and evidence scenario tests.
Large-scale national programmes that treat infrastructure resilience at sector or system level.
What every regulator is actually asking for
Strip away the geography and the framework names, and the underlying capability demands converge on six things.
Continuity under disruption
Operate through severe-but-plausible events without breaching tolerance thresholds.
Response & recovery readiness
Demonstrate tested capability to detect, contain, and recover from major incidents.
Third-party disruption preparedness
Critical service provider failures tested as scenarios - not assumed to be managed contractually.
Crisis communications
Internal escalation and external notification pathways validated under realistic pressure.
Testing discipline & cadence
Documented testing programs with defined frequency, scope, assumptions, and participants.
Remediation based on findings
Evidence that gaps identified in exercises are tracked, prioritised, and closed.
Trusted worldwide by organizations of all sizes
Turn the clause into the evidence
iluminr makes capability visible, repeatable, and real. Our platform connects Microsimulations and full-scale exercises into a living system of practice - giving organizations a clear view of where capability lives, where it is lacking, and where to invest next.
