    Brief

    Vault Sentinel is a proof of concept project supporting Defra in developing and testing a Minimum Viable Organisation (MVO) approach. This initiative focuses on identifying critical services, mapping infrastructure dependencies, and establishing recovery sequencing protocols to enable rapid restoration of essential operations following a major cyber incident. The project will help Defra strengthen its cyber resilience capabilities by defining which functions are essential for business continuity and how to prioritize their recovery. Suppliers working on this opportunity will contribute to building practical frameworks and procedures that other government organizations can adopt to improve their cyber incident response and organizational resilience.
