• The application object

  A single application object for business resilience.

• Ask in your own terms

  RTO by application group. Or by business service. You choose.

  Three example questions and the answers Pillar returns: Is payroll meeting my recovery objective? Yes — payroll is within its 1-hour objective, verified 8 of 8 across 3 platforms. payroll-application_01Sep.pdf, Evidence report · SOX. Provide me my current resilience posture for my Epic application. Epic EHR Production is healthy: 8 components and 2 shared, RTO 1-hour against 00:51:14 measured, 4 of 4 controls evidenced. epic-ehr-posture_09Sep.pdf, Resilience posture · Epic EHR Production. Can you show me the systems that might be impacted by my ERP modernization? 14 systems sit downstream of ERP. Each is listed with its SLA, uptime commitment and recovery chain, so the sequence can be planned before anything moves. erp-modernization-impact_09Sep.pdf, Dependency & SLA report · 14 systems.

  Ask about a service, a machine, a framework…

  Yes — payroll is within its 1-hour objective, verified 8 of 8 across 3 platforms.

• Prove recoverability

  Recoverability, proven continuously.

  Before Pillar

  Days to weeks

  Proving recoverability is a manual scramble across five teams. Every handoff adds time, invites error, and the answer is stale by the time it arrives.

  After Pillar

  Minutes

  Recoverability is automatic and continuous. The evidence is already assembled when someone asks for it.

  Before Pillar: a six-week exercise

  Cross-functional and manual at every gate. Confidence that the business can actually recover within RTO falls at each handoff.

  The Pillar way

  One automated platform replaces the five-team manual gauntlet — discovery, scoring and evidence, continuous and current.

  Pillar — one platform

  1. 1

     Run discovery and build an application inventory and dependency map

     Agentless discovery reads the estate and groups VMs into business applications — no interviews, no spreadsheets.

     Automated~2 min
  2. 2

     Integrate with your data protection to get backup policies

     Jobs, retention and SLAs read straight from the providers already in place — Veeam, Rubrik, Commvault and the rest.

     Correlate and produce evidence at the service layer

     Every application graded against its RTO/RPO, weakest links first, with the evidence assembled as it goes.

     Reporting in context

     One record per service, explained in the language of whoever asked — a source-of-truth statement of what is protected and verified, yours to use wherever it needs to go.

• “

  Most teams believe a service comes back quickly. Far fewer can show it. Over 60% expect to recover from downtime within hours — only around a third actually do.

• “

  The plan is near-universal; the proof behind it is not. Almost every organization keeps a recovery playbook, yet fewer than half of those playbooks say how backups get verified, or how often.

• “

  Continuity is now something you evidence to a regulator, not something you assert. Nearly all EMEA financial services firms say their resilience still falls short of DORA — and about a quarter have no recovery and continuity testing established at all.
