ContinueOps
What ContinueOps is
ContinueOps automates disaster recovery runbook execution and creates tamper-evident evidence chains with human approvals. Its Organisation Licence includes a business continuity and runbook platform with unlimited runbooks. The platform runs recovery tests against infrastructure; successful and failed executions both use DR test minutes, while validation-only dry runs without cloud actions are free. The agent retrieves secrets at runtime from HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, GCP Secret Manager, and CyberArk. Deployment options include managed SaaS, self-hosted appliances, hybrid, and fully self-hosted models. The agent uses outbound-only mTLS, stores no cloud credentials, and keeps runbook outputs and captured variables inside the customer's VPC. The product describes per-runbook access controls, append-only audit logging, and authenticator-app MFA required by default. ContinueOps says its ISO 27001 certification is in progress and that it is not currently certified. The Organisation Licence is £1,600 a month, with a £1,500 setup fee, five user logins, and 60 one-off DR test minutes.
