Command Centre

A central view of the organisation's risk, resilience and regulatory position, with the source records behind every result.

Interactive Demo Company sampleExplore every view, filter, chart, print and export control. This is frozen demonstration data, not a live customer system.

What it does

The Command Centre reads across the information already held in Battleground Live: business impact analyses, critical operations, dependencies, plans, risks, controls, actions, incidents, exercises and compliance. It gives executives and programme owners a current view without maintaining a separate reporting workbook, while still allowing them to open the record behind a chart, score or recommendation.

Battleground Command Centre overview and AI insights.

What is included

Home and posture overview

A two-minute view of the main indicators, current exceptions, overdue actions, recent incidents and the areas requiring attention. The view can be configured around the organisation's own priorities.

Data health and completeness

Shows whether key records are complete, current and owned before the information is used in a committee paper, board report or regulatory response.

Resilience mapping

Multiple map types show how critical operations depend on people, processes, technology, facilities, suppliers and information. A simple process map is available when a full dependency view is not required.

Connections and chain analysis

Find risks without linked controls, single points of failure, concentration risk, missing workarounds and dependencies that can cause an operation to move outside tolerance.

Scenario Lab

Select an outage or disruption and model the likely impact using current dependencies, controls, incidents and workarounds. The output includes the so-what analysis, corrective actions and a printable result.

Exercise coverage

Track which teams and critical operations have been tested, what worked, recurring findings and whether corrective actions have been completed. This supports a continuous exercise programme rather than an annual snapshot.

Regulation and assurance

Prepared views and printable reports are available for named obligations and standards, including SOCI and CPS 230. Coverage is based on the underlying registers rather than a separate attestation.

RAiDAR recommendations

RAiDAR can identify an exception, show the records supporting it and suggest a practical next action. The user checks the evidence and decides what to do.

Reporting

Command Centre reports use the same current records as the working dashboards. Prepared outputs include board, risk committee, important business service, exercise and regulatory reports. Report formats can be adjusted and saved for later reporting cycles.

Resilience module

Know what must keep running—and be ready when it does not.

Identify critical operations, understand what they depend on, build usable continuity and response plans, test them, and run the response from the same current information.

A working resilience programme, not a library of documents

Battleground carries approved information forward through the resilience lifecycle. The BIA informs the continuity plan, current plans inform exercises, and the same roles, contacts and checklists are available during a real incident.

Business impact analysis

Capture critical operations, impact over time, tolerances, minimum service levels, recovery priorities and the resources needed to continue.

Dependencies and concentration

Map reliance on people, processes, applications, infrastructure, premises, suppliers and information; then see shared points of failure.

Business continuity plans

Use approved BIA data to build the BCP, including workarounds, recovery requirements, contacts, responsibilities and supporting material.

Response and recovery plans

Give each role the checklist it needs on web or mobile while programme owners monitor activation and progress across teams.

Incident and breach management

Convene the right people, activate the right plan, assign actions and retain a time-stamped record of decisions, communications and work completed.

Testing and improvement

Run exercises from current organisational data, capture observations and decisions, and carry findings into owned corrective actions.

Battleground Live risk and resilience tools on desktop and mobile
The same current information is available to programme teams on desktop and responders on mobile.
From workshop to usable plan

Enter it once. Keep it connected.

Changes to an operation, dependency or recovery requirement should not be copied manually through Word files and spreadsheets. Battleground updates the working record and carries approved information into the plan, exercise and incident process.

Client onboarding

How a client goes live on Battleground Live

Three phases, Design, Implement, Embed, delivered crawl, walk, run. The first module is live in 8–12 weeks. Every onboarding is tailored heavily to each client: their language, their structure, their regulatory context. The sequence below is the standard spine, configured to fit.

Adjusted per client. Dropdowns, criticality tiers, templates, SSO and data imports are all configured to the client. Treat the steps below as the method, not a fixed script.

Design → Implement → Embed

0

Day zero, governance

Nominate platform, technical, risk and resilience owners and confirm decision authority before configuration starts.

1

System enablement

SSO & directory provisioning (Entra/Azure, ADFS), 2FA, phone-number format, access & security first.

2

Shared foundations

Business units, departments, locations, geographies, teams and industries, the language everything else inherits.

3

Core governance artifacts

Consequence table, criticality descriptions and criticality/time-criticality tiers.

4

Risk intelligence

Risk classes, controls, action plans, risks, and risk & compliance incidents.

5

Resilience

BIA dictionaries, dependency & IT-application dictionaries, BCP templates and assets.

6

Execution & go-live

Plans, resilience incidents and simulations, then data import, validation, readiness sign-off, training and hypercare.

Our guiding principle: "Configuration defines language. Language defines data quality. Data quality defines resilience outcomes."

Crawl, walk, run

Battleground doesn't do big-bang rollouts. Clients start where the pain is, prove value, then expand, which is why time-to-value is measured in weeks, not quarters.

Crawl

Build the BIA, print BCPs, develop the risk & control profile and action plans.

Walk

Online & in-app response and recovery planning, control assurance, risk appetite.

Run

Incident management, service-provider management, emergency notifications, risk scenario analysis.

Operational readiness, six stages

1

Stakeholder engagement

Owners, authority & scope agreed.

2

Process & policy alignment

Fit the platform to how they work.

3

Configure & validate

Set up, import, and check the data.

4

Training & transfer

Role-based training and knowledge transfer.

5

Change management

Drive adoption across the business.

6

Support & monitoring

Hypercare, then ongoing optimisation.

Risk module

One risk picture, from appetite through to action.

Set the framework once, assess against it and keep risks connected to the controls, evidence, incidents and actions that change the exposure. Teams work in the register; executives see the current position without rebuilding it in PowerPoint.

What teams manage in Risk

The module supports enterprise, operational and non-financial risk without forcing every organisation into the same method. Matrices, terminology, approval steps and reporting views are configured around the client's framework.

Risk register and assessments

Record causes, events and impacts; assign accountable owners; assess inherent and residual risk; and retain the assessment history.

Appetite and tolerance

Apply the organisation's own consequence, likelihood, appetite and tolerance settings so exceptions are visible and escalation is consistent.

Controls and assurance

See the controls relied upon for each risk, test design and operating effectiveness, schedule assurance and retain evidence.

Issues and action plans

Turn a weak control, incident, audit finding or assessment outcome into an owned action with dates, progress, evidence and closure.

Connected records

Link risks to business processes, critical operations, applications, service providers, obligations, policies and incidents instead of maintaining parallel registers.

Operational and executive reporting

Filter and pivot by business area, risk class, owner, appetite, control performance and action status, then open the records behind the result.

Reporting from the same data

Stop rebuilding the risk story every reporting cycle.

Dashboards and reports read the live risk, control and action registers. A reviewer can move from the overall exposure to the underlying assessment, evidence or overdue action without asking for a second spreadsheet.

Compliance

Map an obligation once, and watch it stay current as your controls change.

Compliance dashboard
Compliance mapping and readiness (sample data).

What it does

Practical, data-informed insight into your compliance position. Obligations are linked directly to risks, controls and operations, so readiness is live, not a point-in-time spreadsheet. For CPS 230 and DORA, that live mapping is exactly what the examiner asks to see.

Key features

  • Obligations linked to risks, controls & operations
  • Live readiness, not static attestation
  • RAiDAR analyses documents against relevant standards
  • Real-time visibility of impacts from weakening controls or incidents
RAiDAR AI: extracts discrete, actionable requirements from legislation and complex source material and links them to controls, saving the equivalent of several FTEs, with human review before activation.

The complete exercise lifecycle

Facilitators can deliver desktop, functional and full-scale exercises virtually, in person or as a hybrid. Participants only see the material released to them; controllers retain the schedule, observations and full record.

Scenario design

Set the exercise purpose, scope, objectives, participating teams, roles, timeline and expected decisions before participant access opens.

Multimedia injects

Create alerts, email, SMS, news reports, social posts, memos, documents, images and video, then control exactly when each inject is released.

Live participant environment

Participants receive and respond to injects, forward information, chat, add notes and use voice, video or photographs where enabled.

Controller oversight

Facilitators control pace, add material during play, observe activity and record what happened without entering the participant workspace.

Debrief and report

Bring messages, decisions, actions, notes and observations into the debrief; prepare the exercise report from the retained evidence.

Improvement programme

Convert findings into owners, due dates and actions, then report recurring themes, overdue remediation and exercise coverage in Command Centre.

Radar inside Simulations

A faster first draft, grounded in the organisation.

Give Radar the exercise brief and answer a short set of questions. It can use approved BIAs, crisis and continuity plans, dependencies and existing organisational data to prepare the scenario and inject schedule. The exercise designer checks and edits everything before release.

Emergency communication that gives the team an answer

Touchbase works for planned tests, welfare checks and urgent notifications, either on its own or from an active incident. Each communication retains who was targeted, how it was sent, delivery status, response and time.

Controlled templates

Prepare and approve common messages before they are needed, with standard wording and response options ready for the sender.

Precise recipient selection

Target named individuals, teams, roles, locations and profile data; check the filtered recipient list before releasing the message.

SMS, email and push

Use the best channel for the situation or send through multiple channels. Dedicated sending numbers can be configured by jurisdiction.

Structured two-way responses

Offer up to five response choices so the team receives information it can act on, such as safe, needs assistance or away from the affected area.

Delivery monitoring

See queued, sent, delayed and failed messages at individual level, then switch channel or contact method when delivery does not complete.

Non-responder follow-up

Filter by response, response type or no response and send the next message only to the group that still needs attention.

Battleground mobile app showing incidents, plans, messages, contacts and Touchbase
Incidents, plans, contacts, messages and Touchbase remain together on mobile.
Useful in a test. Essential in an event.

Open the demo environment ↗
Discovery

Three questions that open the conversation

"If a regulator or board asked for evidence today, what could you show them?"

"Where are you still relying on spreadsheets, static plans or fragmented workflows?"

"How quickly can leadership get a defensible answer during a live disruption?"

Objection handling

Have the answer ready

"We already have a GRC tool."Most are built for risk teams. Battleground is resilience-first and built for the frontline, and it activates your GRC in real time, turning static data into live action. Runs standalone or alongside what you have.
"AI isn't safe for compliance."RAiDAR never auto-publishes. Every output is human-reviewed and approved, and your data never trains the model, so you keep audit defensibility.
"Implementations take forever."Start with one module where the pain is, go live in 8–12 weeks, then expand. Crawl, walk, run.
"Is it just another dashboard?"It's mobile-first and works offline, the control centre is in your team's pocket when the incident hits.

Everything you need to market Battleground

Use the approved LinkedIn ads, partner badges, logos, website photography and system pictures in your own campaigns, proposals and pages. The brand essentials below keep your work consistent; each downloadable asset collection has its own page in the menu.

Logos

The Battleground logo, every format

Each logo is supplied in three formats so it works everywhere. Use the SVG for anything on screen or on the web because it stays sharp at any size, the PNG when you need a transparent image for slides or documents, and the PDF for print and for your designer. The primary logo is the default, the white version is for dark or photographic backgrounds, and the mono version is for single-colour printing.

Not sure which one to use? Reach for the primary logo with tagline on a light background almost every time. Switch to the white version only when the logo sits on a dark photo or a solid colour.
Logo usage

Keeping the logo looking right

A few simple habits keep the brand strong wherever it appears. Give the logo room to breathe, keep it legible at small sizes, and never redraw or restyle it. When in doubt, place the logo on a clean light background and let the colour come from the artwork itself.

Please do

  • Leave clear space around the logo equal to the height of the “B” on every side.
  • Keep the full logo at least 24 pixels tall on screen, or 15 millimetres wide in print, so the tagline stays readable.
  • Use the white logo on dark photos and solid colours, and the primary logo on light backgrounds.
  • Scale the SVG whenever you can, so edges stay crisp at any size.

Please don’t

  • Stretch, squash, rotate or add effects such as shadows or outlines to the logo.
  • Recolour the logo or place the primary teal version on a busy or low-contrast background.
  • Rebuild the wordmark in another font or move the icon and text apart.
  • Sit the logo on a colour that leaves it hard to read.
Colours

The brand palette

Victory teal leads the brand and should carry headings, key accents and links. Rich Black is the colour for body text, and the softer greens and creams make calm, premium backgrounds. AI Pink belongs to RAiDAR and our AI story, so use it for small highlights rather than large areas. The hex values below match the master palette exactly.

Victory#00A786Primary brand colour. Headings, key accents and hyperlinks.
Heading Green#007D64Heading colour inside Word and PDF documents.
Earth#AB927CWarm tan for headlines and callouts.
AI Pink#FF57BERAiDAR and AI accents only. Use sparingly for highlights.
Grass#E6ECD1Soft light background.
Clarity#FBF6EACream light background.
Sky#A7D3D3Secondary tone within communications.
Steel#5E8A8ASecondary tone within communications.
Rich Black#000104Primary font and body-text colour.
Typography

Poppins, our one typeface

Battleground uses Poppins everywhere, from slides to documents to the web. Pair a bold or extra-bold headline with a lighter supporting line, and let one word carry a Victory-teal accent when you want emphasis. Keep body copy in regular weight and in Rich Black so pages stay easy to read.

Resilience for tomorrow, today.
Poppins Regular for body. Bold and Extra-bold for headlines. Black for statement moments.
Weights in the pack: Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold and Black, each with an italic. Install the whole family so every Battleground template renders correctly.
Icons

Module icon library

These are the icons we use across the platform and in our decks, one for each part of Battleground Live. On a light background, sit each icon on a Victory-green coin as shown so it stands out, and on a green background let it sit on its own. Keep the set consistent rather than mixing in icons from other libraries.

Health · Aged Care

Multi-site aged care provider, award-winning COVID-19 response

A multi-site aged care provider used Battleground to coordinate resilience and inform management decisions across its sites, including through the COVID-19 pandemic, and was recognised by the RMIA for its response.

RMIAAward winner
Multi-siteCoordinated response
Incident-agnosticAny disruption

Background

An aged care service provider needed to inform management decisions and coordinate resilience across multiple sites. Organisations like this can be subject to a wide range of unforeseen circumstances, a fire, flood, cyber-attack or a drop in the market, each of which can have significant consequences and must be managed immediately and effectively.

Implementation

The provider uses the Battleground platform's reporting tools to inform management decisions, alongside incident management, planning and simulations across its sites. The system is incident-agnostic, so any type of incident can be planned for and managed. Because the mobile app stores data on the device since the last synchronisation, people can access the information relevant to them on the fly, even when mobile networks are overwhelmed or unavailable, with every action logged and stored locally until it can be sent to the web app. Role-awareness means each person sees only the information relevant to their role during an incident, rather than being overwhelmed.

Results

The provider successfully navigated the pressures and demands of the COVID-19 environment across multiple sites, ending with recognition by the RMIA for the Most Outstanding COVID-19 Organisational Resilience Response (Health & Community), a response supported by the Battleground platform and suite of tools. Completing the relevant Battleground modules also enhanced the organisation's compliance with local regulations.

State-wide electricity infrastructure operator

A state-wide manager of electricity infrastructure runs its entire business continuity programme on Battleground, online and via the mobile app, managing incidents from a contractor fatality to cyber security events.

All BCMOne platform
Web + mobileOnline & offline
BIA → BCPAuto-populated plans

Background

As a state-wide manager of electricity infrastructure in Australia, the need for business continuity was paramount. A one-of-a-kind analysis was needed to manage staff and contractors, through to cyber security incidents and COVID-19.

Implementation

The company's crisis team is initiated via automatic conference calling, after which they follow the checklists provided in the mobile application; all activity logs for the team are captured online in Battleground. Battleground developed the Business Impact Analyses, BCP and crisis plans, incident management and simulations, delivered online and via the Battleground Response mobile application.

Results

Using the full potential of Battleground, the client has managed incidents ranging from the death of a contractor through to cyber security incidents and COVID-19. For business continuity, the company's BIAs are performed in Battleground, with paper-based plans automatically populated after each one before being translated into an online, app-based version.

Executive & board ransomware crisis exercise

A financial services client tested how its executive and board make decisions under a live ransomware scenario, and came away with clearer delegations and stronger crisis capability.

Crisis exerciseExec + board
ScenarioRansomware
OutcomeClearer delegations

Background

The client wished to complete a crisis exercise that focused on the interactions between the executive and the board in crisis response, and on responding to ransomware demands.

Implementation

Battleground facilitated a crisis exercise that commenced with executive engagement and the mobilisation of response plans. This required management to step through decision-making around how to respond to a ransomware scenario, including Board Chair engagement and decision-making, as well as the communication of outcomes to key stakeholders.

Results

Battleground identified opportunities to improve, not only within crisis response but also in the clarity of delegations from the board to management, enabling the client's executive team to build capability in meeting the board's needs in a crisis scenario.

Five-hour multi-team cyber exercise with live media

A financial services firm consolidated its BCM maturity with a five-hour cyber exercise spanning IT, operations, an executive crisis team and four response teams, complete with a real media crew.

Duration5 hours
TeamsExec + 4 response
MediaLive camera crew

Background

The client needed to consolidate recently enhanced BCM maturity through a cyber-based exercise focused on timely escalation and the coordination of multiple teams managing the strategic, technical and communications response, the latter incorporating media engagement via the participation of a media crew in the exercise.

Implementation

Battleground facilitated an exercise of five hours' duration, involving escalation of the event from IT and operational channels through to the activation of an executive-level crisis team and four additional response teams. Battleground brought in a camera crew to exercise the media capability of the business through orchestrated stand-up and '4-Corners' style interviews.

Results

The client further enhanced its crisis capability and skill in media engagement, whilst identifying valuable improvements regarding crisis team operations, crisis communications, decision-making rights and responsibilities, and the invocation of Business Continuity Plans.

One of Australia's largest super funds, daily resilience across AU/UK/US

A global super fund consolidated 73 BIAs, 21 BCPs and its crisis management plan onto Battleground, and uses it every day as business-as-usual across three jurisdictions.

73 BIAs21 BCPs
FootprintAU · UK · US
UsageDaily BAU

Background

One of Australia's largest super funds, with offices in Australia, the UK and the US, keeps 73 Business Impact Analyses, 21 Business Continuity Plans and its Crisis Management Plan on the platform, ready for easy activation.

Implementation

Battleground Live allowed the fund to consolidate all of this information into one simple platform, enabling anyone in the organisation to quickly understand situations, their impact and business criticality. The fund uses Battleground every day as part of BAU, with BCM champions across the business trained to maximise the platform for BIAs and planning. The crisis team is initiated through the platform, following the relevant plan checklists in the mobile application, with all activity logs captured online.

Results

The fund uses Touchbase to contact staff globally when security events occur, such as physical threats. With a local and global presence across Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, there are dedicated phone numbers for each jurisdiction, so when staff receive communication from that number, they know it could only have been initiated by the fund. All of the fund's crisis exercises are designed in the Simulations module, and the Incident Management module is used to manage fund-wide resilience incidents.
