Continuous BCP testing for the AI-era
ContinueOps is the first autonomous Disaster Recovery (DR) simulation, testing and evidence, producing regulator-grade audits ready reports for DORA, NIS2, NIST, FCA/PRA, SOC 2 and ISO 27001/22301 for Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and FinTech.
Problem
Regulated financial services, federal contractors, and energy sector firms face mandatory annual disaster recovery testing (FINRA 4370, NFA 2-38, SEC Regulation SCI, CMMC, DORA, NIS). Most conduct testing manually—relying on runbooks, spreadsheets, and ad-hoc coordination. This is resource-intensive, expensive, and produces inconsistent audit evidence. Regulators increasingly demand independent third-party validation, not self-assessment - creating a critical compliance gap.
ContinueOps automates DR testing using quantum-safe cryptography to create immutable audit trails of infrastructure state and runbook invocation. The platform discovers your actual systems, simulates recovery against existing runbooks, detects drift, and generates tamper-proof compliance evidence eliminating manual overhead. Clients demonstrate tested recovery capability to regulators while reducing compliance testing costs by 80%+.
Our vision
Transform Businesses through dynamic living runbooks; making Disaster Recovery (DR) simulation, testing and evidencing quick and continuous. Enable CNI and regulated firms to maintain tested resilience as a business practice; giving boards, auditors, and regulators cryptographic proof of genuine recovery capability.
Seed · Raising
ContinueOps puts signed Rust agents inside the customer's VPC to run continuous, auditable resilience and compliance work DR tests, S3 failover, evidence capture, runbook validation — with a Human-on-the-Loop approvals layer. We're raising a £650k seed to harden the agent runtime, prepare for Financial Services procurement with ISO27001 and CBCI accreditations, pitch to EU mid-market financial services and MSP/Datacenter partners (who now fall into EU CRA). Looking for a lead with conviction in infra + compliance automation who can support a £2-3M Series A in 12–18 months.
