Sustain Phase Appendices
The appendices bring the concepts discussed in A Practitioner’s Guide to the “Sustain” Phase into practical application.

The templates should be adapted to reflect the organisation’s size, complexity, regulatory environment, risk profile, governance structure, and operational resilience maturity.
