In an era of changing citizen expectations, digital systems are increasingly critical for delivering government services.
- Most organizations experience 10 days of unplanned digital downtime per year on average.
- Advanced digital resilience makes organizations twice as likely to be prepared to adapt to changing circumstances.
Framework
A digital resilience foundation
The framework defines the three key processes required to be digitally resilient.
- Prevention - identify key risks and detecting threats before they become major incidents.
- Smoothing - recover faster to minimize the impact of outages and breaches.
- Enabling - increase visibility to improve sercives and boost organizational resilience.
Strategies
What can we learn?
Examining the strengths of each country's approach to identify the opportunities for greater resilience.
- Examining each country's approach to identify opportunities for greater resilience.
- The UK needs to expand beyond a strong focus on cybersecurity to take advantage of emerging opportunities (such as AI).
- Greater freedom within France's highly centralized system could unlock localized innovations.
- Structural challenges in Germany inhibit the ability to develop and deliver digital government at scale.
