Business continuity testing is often treated as a routine requirement—a series of departmental checkboxes that live in folders or spreadsheets. But as risk landscapes grow more complex and interconnected, that fragmented approach simply doesn’t cut it. Resilience demands more.
That’s why CLDigital has introduced a new way to manage, run, and report on tests and exercises at scale. Our enhanced Test & Exercise module in CLDigital 360 is designed for continuity leaders who need to move beyond isolated plans and build coordinated, enterprise-wide readiness.
From Isolated Drills to Integrated Exercises
Traditional testing structures typically live within individual business units: one test folder here, a few tabletop drills there. What’s missing is a centralized way to manage testing across departments, processes, applications, and teams. CLDigital’s new module fills that gap.
Unlike departmental test folders, the new module sits a level above—delivering a holistic view of all exercises across the organization. It enables program leaders to coordinate complex, multi-entity tests while automating participation, tracking, and reporting.
Built for Program Leaders, Designed for Scale
The updated Test & Exercise module puts power in the hands of program leaders. Users can:
- Set up enterprise-level test scenarios
- Define test types and objectives
- Select and assign departments, processes, and stakeholders
- Automate the data collection workflow from participants
- Collect input and outcomes in real time
All submitted data flows into a centralized dashboard for visibility, audit-readiness, and performance tracking.
Real-Time Results & Centralized Reporting
One of the most powerful features of the module is the reporting dashboard. At a glance, you can see:
- Test Success/failure rates
- Were participants able to maintain/perform their critical activities
- Participant data collection workflow completion
- Types of tests conducted
- Workflow Approvals
- Total number of tests
You can also filter by type, status, and approval to quickly surface trends and performance issues.
Every test—whether a tabletop exercise, crisis simulation, or technology recovery drill—feeds into a master Test & Exercise report that simplifies regulatory reporting and executive oversight.
