Activation Flow
Overview
When crisis strikes, time is your most critical resource. That's why Panik Button delivers business continuity through a repeatable, auditable activation process automated by Infrastructure-as-Code and executed with precision.
In under 60 minutes, a secure fallback environment is deployed, leadership teams are onboarded, and recovery operations begin. From activation to reconciliation, each step is designed to be fast, secure, and independent from compromised infrastructure.
Why This Matters
- Rapid restoration of leadership control and communication
- Clean isolation from compromised production environments
- Controlled onboarding via Microsoft 365 with enforced MFA
- Safe, documented recovery with full reconciliation
- Compliance-ready execution aligned with ISO 27001, NIS2, and DORA
The Five-Step Activation Flow
This flow underpins all Panik Button activations from Core Layer to specialized continuity modules. Each phase is orchestrated via Infrastructure-as-Code, ensuring deterministic builds and consistent execution across locations and scenarios.
Initiate
Start activation via the Panik Button interface or by calling the 24/7 helpdesk.
- Incident triggers are predefined and role-based
- Customers can also configure API-driven activations
- Activation starts the deployment clock countdown from 60:00
Automated Deploy
The fallback tenant is live within minutes.
- Built in Microsoft Azure using Infrastructure-as-Code
- Always isolated never connected to compromised IT
- Core Layer elements preloaded: Teams war rooms, playbooks, portals, SharePoint, and web forms
Onboard
Key stakeholders are onboarded securely via email or SMS.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) required for every user
- Predefined roles and access scopes
- Seamless experience with Microsoft 365 interfaces
Operate
Crisis response and business continuity begin immediately.
- Run war room cadence meetings, follow playbooks, and manage external communications
- Activate additional modules (data, SaaS, OT, on-prem, specialist workplaces) as needed
- Continue core operations in fallback environment
Recover & Reconcile
When your primary environment is restored, data and activities are reintegrated.
- Captured transactions and logs are reconciled cleanly into production systems
- Evidence packages are generated for audit and compliance
- Optional exercise debrief or after-action report supported
