SMEs face the same regulatory obligations as enterprises — FCA PS21/3, ISO 22301, NIS2, DORA — but manage architecture, risk, compliance, continuity, and incident response across disconnected tools that produce documents nobody trusts.
When your best engineer is unavailable during an incident, recovery time multiplies. The knowledge required to respond — what depends on what, who owns what, what to do first — exists in individuals' heads, not in a form the business can use when it matters.
Auditors and regulators increasingly expect a live, evidenceable compliance posture — not a document produced the week before a review. Evidence assembled reactively is expensive to produce, resource-intensive to maintain, and unconvincing under scrutiny.
Business continuity plans and systems documentation are maintained separately, by different teams, on different cycles. They go out of sync and fail at exactly the moment you need them most — during a real incident or a regulatory examination.
Month-end, peak trading windows, regulatory deadlines, and post-acquisition transitions carry materially higher operational risk. Your current tooling has no concept of these elevated-risk periods, and neither do your continuity or governance processes.
FrameOne is built to work alongside the tools you already have. It provides the connective layer that makes your existing systems coherent and trusted — not a replacement that asks you to start again.
Every function — operations, technology, compliance, continuity — works from the same model. It stays current because it is connected to how you actually run, not maintained as a parallel document.
Evidence is generated as a byproduct of how you run your business — not assembled as a separate exercise before an audit. Regulators see a posture, not a document produced under time pressure.
The knowledge required to respond is in the system, not in an individual. Incidents are contained faster because anyone can follow a current, connected playbook — not one that was accurate eighteen months ago.
Plans are connected to the live operational model, not maintained as separate documents. When your environment changes, your continuity documentation reflects it — without a manual update cycle.
Present your operational resilience posture to regulators, auditors, and clients on demand — from your own system, with current evidence, without needing external help to produce it.
FrameOne connects to your existing systems — ITSM, CMDB, risk registers, document stores — and ingests your existing flat documents: Word files, PDFs, and spreadsheets. Your current continuity plans, risk assessments, and process documentation become the starting point for the live model, not something to be recreated from scratch. You can be operational from day one, with the documentation you already own.
Businesses in regulated sectors facing FCA, FCA PS21/3, ISO 22301, NIS2, or DORA obligations — where operational resilience is a regulatory requirement and the expectation of a live, evidenceable posture is increasingly explicit.

Find out more →FrameOne was developed to bring together over 30 years of experience modelling systems and operational resilience across multiple businesses and sectors. The problems it addresses are ones we have lived through — in incident rooms, in regulatory examinations, and in the aftermath of acquisitions where nobody could tell you what depended on what.
Those problems have consistent solutions. Until now, those solutions have only been accessible to organisations with the resources to build them from scratch.
FrameOne is in early development. We're talking to potential users to understand the problem from the inside. If any of this resonates — or if you have a sharper version of the problem — we'd like to hear from you.
I'll be in touch shortly.
