Enterprise identity protection and cyber resilience startup Semperis Ltd. today announced the launch of Ready1, a new enterprise resilience platform designed to bring structure, speed and coordination to cyber crisis management.

Ready1 seeks to address concerns in enterprises over crisis planning, such as disjointed response processes, unclear roles and responsibilities and overreliance on fragmented tools that often hinder effective action during cyber incidents.

The new service was developed in response to a growing gap between perceived cyber readiness and actual response performance, with a recent global survey conducted by the company finding that although 96% of organizations claim to have crisis response plans in place, 71% experienced at least one high-impact cyber event in the past year, with many struggling to activate those plans effectively.

Ready1 seeks to solve these issues by providing a centralized command center that supports secure communications, live dashboards, incident documentation and role-based task tracking. The platform is built to function even during infrastructure outages, enabling enterprises to maintain coordination and control when traditional systems fail.

The new offering includes built-in playbook automation to guide teams through incident response workflows in real time. The platform reduces the chance of missteps and delays that can prolong downtime or exacerbate a breach by standardizing actions and communications across departments.

Ready1 also includes tabletop testing features and after-action reviews, enabling organizations to continually evaluate and enhance their response capabilities. The tools are designed to build muscle memory among response teams so that when a real incident occurs, execution is swift and well-coordinated.

The service consolidates the functionality of disparate tools for cyber crisis response, including crisis management, IR, downtime planning and communication tools into a single, secure, intuitive platform designed to work even when everything else fails.

“In today’s cyberthreat landscape, the ability to respond swiftly and decisively is just as critical as prevention,” said Chris Inglis, the first U.S. National Cyber Director and Semperis strategic adviser. “Companies need a command center for crisis management, ensuring organizations have the playbook, the training and the coordination needed to turn chaos into control.”
