AI resilience, continuity and exit planning
Security and Resilience
What is AI resilience, continuity and exit planning?
Plans for a vendor failure, an unsafe model change or a suspended service: rollback, manual fallback, data export and safe decommissioning.
Where the frameworks place it: DORA; NIS2; NIST AI RMF MANAGE 4.
The interview question it draws
Your AI vendor shuts down next month. What was in your continuity and exit plan, and what did you fail to plan for?
A strong answer walks through the practice itself, with one real case, what you decided, and what the evidence showed afterwards.
