In their own words
ContinueOps
ContinueOps automates disaster recovery runbooks and records tamper-evident evidence chains with human approvals. Its Organisation Licence adds a business continuity platform with unlimited runbooks, plus tools for business impact analysis, continuity plan management, exercises, disruption response, dependency mapping and RTO/RPO tracking. The service can run recovery tests against infrastructure: both successful and failed tests use DR minutes, while validation-only dry runs without cloud actions are free. The agent retrieves secrets at runtime from HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, GCP Secret Manager and CyberArk. Deployment choices include managed SaaS, a self-hosted appliance, hybrid and fully self-hosted models. Its outbound-only mTLS design stores no cloud credentials and keeps runbook outputs and captured variables inside the customer's VPC. Access controls can be set per runbook; audit logs are append-only and authenticator-app MFA is required by default. ContinueOps supports Linux, macOS, Windows and web, and lists AWS, Azure and GCP marketplaces as deployment formats. The Organisation Licence is £1,600 a month, with a £1,500 setup fee; it includes five user logins and 60 one-off DR test minutes. ISO 27001 certification is in progress, and the company says it is not currently certified.
