Quantivate Business Continuity Software

Quantivate Business Continuity Software is a cloud product for business continuity and disaster recovery planning, incident response, and exercises. It is the clearest fit for banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions working within a broader GRC platform. Its breadth spans analysis through plan access, but custom pricing and the programming burden of custom API work make it less suited to buyers seeking a simple, self-service purchase.

Overview

Quantivate brings risk and impact analysis, plan creation, exercises, disruption response, and plan distribution into one system. Teams can work from a business process library and preloaded continuity, pandemic, and crisis-management templates, then store plans and supporting documents centrally. Real-time updates and electronic distribution help keep plans current across an organization; the mobile app also lets staff access, store, and synchronize plans.

Quantivate was founded in 2005 and acquired by Ncontracts in 2023. Its GRC platform is purpose-built for banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions, making those organizations its most natural audience.

Key features

Analysis and planning

Threat and vulnerability analysis, risk assessment, and business impact analysis connect exposure review to continuity planning. The plan editor, process library, and templates give teams a structured starting point. Dependency mapping and RTO/RPO tracking add practical planning dimensions for organizations that need to account for dependencies and recovery objectives.

Exercises, incidents, and communications

Scenario-based exercises and incident management support preparation as well as disruption response. Emergency notifications can be sent by SMS, email, or voice broadcast. Together, these capabilities suit teams that want planning and response workflows in the same product rather than separate tools.

Administration, reporting, and integration

Configurable workflows, dashboards, reports, permissions, built-in analytics, and Report Builder support oversight across plans and exercises. Single sign-on and user provisioning, including account creation on first login, can reduce friction in managed environments. Quantivate describes data sharing across its GRC platform and offers a JSON-RPC API for passing information in and out; custom API coding requires programming knowledge, and Quantivate's support team does not support that work. Organizations without development capacity should confirm that standard data sharing meets their needs.

Quantivate says its internal controls meet AICPA Trust Services Criteria for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and customer-data privacy. Optional consulting can help organizations develop business continuity and disaster recovery plans, a useful supplement for teams that need planning expertise as well as software.

Pricing

Business Continuity Software: custom pricing; contact Quantivate for pricing. A demo can be requested. No public seat or usage limits are stated, so buyers should confirm scope and terms directly before comparing proposals.

The product is paid and cloud-deployed, with no published lower tier or free option to compare. That makes it harder to screen against a budget before engaging sales, but custom pricing may suit institutions whose requirements call for a tailored GRC deployment. Optional consulting is a separate consideration when estimating the overall engagement.

Platforms

The deployment option is cloud, and the software lists web, Android, iOS, and API platforms. The iOS and Android mobile app gives staff access to stored continuity plans and synchronizes them. API availability is not the same as turnkey custom integration: bespoke API coding requires programming knowledge.

Who it's for

Quantivate is best suited to financial institutions that need continuity planning connected to broader GRC work, along with exercises, incident management, notifications, and mobile plan access. Organizations building or revising plans may also value its templates, process library, and optional consulting. Smaller teams seeking a transparent price or buyers who cannot support custom API development should weigh those constraints before proceeding.

Pros and cons

• End-to-end continuity work: analysis, plan management, exercises, disruption response, and reporting sit in one product, reducing the need to divide those tasks across separate systems.
• Useful distribution and mobile access: centralized storage, electronic distribution, real-time updates, and mobile synchronization help staff reach current plans.
• Financial-sector orientation: Quantivate's GRC platform is purpose-built for banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions.
• Custom purchase requires sales contact: buyers must request pricing, making early budget comparisons less direct.
• Custom API work needs in-house programming: Quantivate's support team does not support custom API coding, which can limit integration choices for organizations without developers.

Verdict
