Impact.

Translate risk into service impact over time: model how disruption escalates through real dependencies and where it reaches your customers.

Impact isn't a severity label.

It's a curve that grows with time.

Horizon turns business impact analysis into a continuously connected model, grounded in the operational topology from Blueprint, not a static spreadsheet. Impact escalates as disruption duration increases, and Horizon traces that escalation through dependencies to make the full blast radius visible.

When the model changes, risk exposure and impact analysis update automatically, and resilience gaps surface before an incident proves them.

Modeled forward,not reconstructed after.

Recovery Objectives Grounded in Reality

Recovery objectives should be grounded in modeled service impact, not maintained as static workshop outputs.

Horizon derives RTO, RPO, MTD, and Impact Tolerance from the impact timeline itself.

Defined by the thresholds that actually matter.

Customers, markets, and regulators: each with its own point where harm becomes intolerable.

Cascading Impact & Blast Radius

When an asset fails, the impact doesn't stop there.

It travels downstream through dependent services, applications, and customer journeys.

Horizon traces the cascade and quantifies the blast radius.

How deep it goes, what it touches, and what stays standing.

Time-Based Impact Modeling

Impact isn't a static severity label. It's a curve that grows with time.

Horizon models how disruption escalates hour by hour, so you can see the exact moment a manageable outage becomes intolerable.

Threat Modeling

A ransomware attack and a data center failure aren't the same incident.

Different assets, different durations, different regulatory obligations: each captured structurally in the threat model.

Every recovery strategy links to the assets it actually protects.

No more generic playbooks that assume uniform impact.

Resilience Gap Analysis

Surface the blind spots before they matter.

Assets with no recovery strategy, and strategies that fall short of their RTO.

Test against the threats most likely to hit, not just the ones already in the playbook.

Query the impact.Research the threat.

HELIX — CONVERSATIONALREADY

Query impact before disruption hits.

Ask what-if questions about blast radius, recovery timelines, and cascading impact. Answers follow your topology and impact model, not a static risk register.

What's the blast radius if we lose the London DC?

Which services breach RTO after 4 hours?

If our primary payments vendor goes down, when do we breach Impact Tolerance?
