Problem
Large enterprises rely on integrated ERP and IT ecosystems to execute core financial, treasury, and operational workflows. When those systems experience a cyber‑attack, outage, or other disruption, critical processes such as payroll, supplier payments, and regulatory reporting halt, exposing the organization to revenue loss, compliance risk, and reputational damage.
Solution
Astran delivers a Minimum Vital Company Platform that isolates a curated set of essential business processes from the primary IT stack. The platform continuously synchronizes required data from existing systems into an independent, immutable store, ensuring that the information remains fresh even if the source environment is unavailable. Pre‑defined, step‑by‑step execution procedures run on a dedicated runtime, allowing finance, treasury, and operations teams to carry out payments, inventory moves, and safety checks without any dependency on the failed infrastructure. All actions are automatically logged and versioned to provide a complete audit trail for regulators and internal controls. Deployment is designed to be completed within weeks, giving organizations a ready‑to‑activate continuity posture rather than an untested documentation exercise. Security is built in through regular penetration testing, encryption, and role‑based access controls, meeting the stringent requirements of CISO and compliance functions.
Target Audience
The primary customers are large enterprises with dedicated finance, treasury, and operations functions that must maintain continuity during IT outages, including CISO and risk management teams responsible for business resilience.
