Is Your Cyber Resilience Fit for Purpose?

Summary

Cyber resilience today demands more than just tech. It requires leadership, culture, and real evidence that your organisation can recover and adapt.

Why Cyber Resilience Can’t Wait

Cyberattacks aren’t just more frequent. They’re smarter. And regulators? They’ve caught on.

In the last 12 months:

• Over 2.3 million UK businesses were hit by cybercrime
• UK banks haemorrhaged cash (and customer trust) from operational outages
• Regulators toughened their stance and their penalties

From DORA and NIS2 in Europe to the UK’s incoming Cyber Security & Resilience Bill, the message is clear: reactive resilience is no longer good enough.

The real question is:
Can your current processes, controls, and governance stand up to scrutiny, or are you hoping for the best?

Enter Aegis 9 | CDOR™

Your framework for Cybersecurity & Digital Operational Resilience that actually works.

Built by practitioners, not paper-pushers, the Aegis 9 | CDOR™ framework helps you:

• Expose weak spots before attackers or regulators do
• Benchmark where you are, and chart where you need to be
• Give Boards, auditors, and regulators hard evidence, not hollow promises

It maps over 20 critical domains, including:

• Identity & Access Management
• Cryptography
• Crisis Communications
• Legacy Tech

… And everything else in the shadows of your estate.

Whether you're a CRO, CISO, or Resilience Lead, this isn’t another box-ticking exercise. It’s a maturity model designed to bring clarity, accountability, and confidence to the boardroom.

What Makes Aegis 9 | CDOR™ Different?

Aegis 9 | CDOR™ is built by practitioners for real-world challenges. It combines maturity assessment, regulatory alignment, and sector-specific insight.

Unlike static checklists or theory-heavy maturity models, Aegis 9 | CDOR™ is:

• Dynamic: supporting complex, multi-jurisdictional organisations
• Aligned: with DORA, CS&R, CISA/NIST, NIS2, ISO 27001/27035, COBIT 2019, ITIL 4, and more
• Practical: built from real-world engagements, not PowerPoint dreams

The CDOR framework gives you one clear view of every major rule set, so you no longer have to run separate checks for DORA, NIS2, the UK Cyber Bill and the rest.

And it doesn’t just tick controls; it shows how well each process really works, then turns the gaps into a simple action list the board can back.

Your scores sit against a growing bank of peer data, so you can prove your position to regulators, insurers and investors with confidence.

All of this is gathered through digital surveys and smart reporting, cutting assessment time and cost by more than half.

Why Boards and CISOs Can Trust It

This isn’t theory. Our CDOR framework helps leaders spot blind spots, track improvements, and justify investments to regulators and stakeholders.

Why Argus Pro?

Because frameworks are only as strong as the people behind them.

Meet the architects of Aegis 9 | CDOR™:

Rory Canavan
The go-to for ISO-aligned process design. When a US-headquartered Global-Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) incurred fines exceeding $100mn and faced regulatory wrath over a customer data breach, it launched a global search for an expert to help it remediate: it called Rory. He rebuilt trust, redefined control, and got them back in the good books.

Vinay Vyas
From Global Top 25 investment banks to UK challenger banks, Vinay’s helped firms secure licences, build financial crime defences, and align operational risk with regulatory scrutiny. He balances realism with rigour.

Mike Falvey
Ex-HMRC Director General, former Big 4 Partner, and trusted advisor to boards across public and private sectors. Mike brings heavyweight governance experience and boardroom fluency to complex resilience programmes.

Together, they’ve built a framework that bridges regulatory intent with real-world operational delivery.
