What is Single Point of Failure (SPOF)?
A single point of failure (SPOF) is any component — a system, supplier, site or person — whose failure alone would halt a critical process.
Identifying SPOFs is a core outcome of impact and dependency analysis. Each SPOF is either removed (through redundancy) or covered by a continuity strategy and plan.
Mapping processes to the assets, vendors and people they depend on — as Resilira does — is how SPOFs surface before an incident finds them for you.
Put the theory to work.
Resilira turns these concepts into a running program — BIA, plans and compliance, audit-ready in days.
