We live in a world of increasing threats, from natural hazards (the weather) and incidents (chemical, nuclear, transport) to planned events.
There is a particular increase in “Black Swan” attacks. With new and innovative methods, those that are unexpected can have a high impact.
What is ResilienceDirect
ResilienceDirect™ (RD) is the UKs secure web-based communication collaboration platform (accredited to Official), accessible from any
device and made available for the Resilience Community.
ResilienceDirect™ has been designed, operated and maintained for the storage and processing of information marked as Official,
including the handling caveat of Sensitive as per the Government Security Classifications guidance. It is important to note that the
Official-Sensitive caveat is not a separate classification; it is a tool to denote Official information that is of particular
sensitivity but which can be managed on Official systems and infrastructure. Guidance can be found here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications
ResilienceDirect enables the secure sharing of information across the blue light emergency responders, public and private sector
organisations. It supports the seamless working of the local resilience community alongside National Government departments and agencies.
We work with the Devolved Governments, for emergency planning, exercising, response and recovery.
