Calling for Public Review of Operational Resilience Framework version 3.0
The Operational Resilience Framework (ORF) Working Group is now calling for public review of version 3.0 of the framework. Please visit www.grf.org/orf to download the copy and provide comments.
Traditional disaster recovery and business continuity efforts have focused on data recovery with little regard for providing services in an impaired state. In 2021, Global Resilience Federation’s Business Resilience Council (BRC) launched a multi-sector working group to develop the ORF to help solve that challenge.
The framework provides rules and implementation aids that support a company’s recovery of immutable data, while also – and uniquely– allowing it to minimize service disruptions in the face of destructive attacks and events.
In 2023, the working group release version 2.0 which augmented the framework with a maturity model. In 2025 and 2026, version 3.0 was developed, focused on incorporating feedback about prior iterations and strengthening principles of collective resilience.
The ORF Working Group encourages you to review the document and provide your feedback to Brian Katula at bkatula@grf.org.
