Cross-Domain Risk & Resilience

In today’s environment, organizations face a new reality: risks no longer arise in isolation within individual domains but at the intersections of IT, OT, governance, supply chains, and regulatory requirements. As a result, cybersecurity, operational security, and regulatory compliance must be addressed in an integrated manner. At the same time, many organizations still operate in silos—with fragmented responsibilities, methodologies, and priorities.

SYNSPACE Switzerland supports organizations in breaking down these silos and developing an integrated risk and resilience strategy. Our approach combines technical security measures, governance structures, and regulatory requirements into a consistent, holistic framework. This includes both operational security aspects and regulatory requirements such as the NIS2 Directive, the Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive, and the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

  • Typical challenges our clients face:
  • IT, OT, and business risks are assessed separately
  • Cybersecurity, compliance, and operational security are not integrated
  • Unclear responsibilities across governance, IT, and business units
  • Regulatory requirements are implemented in isolation
  • Lack of end-to-end visibility of risks and dependencies
  • Business continuity, cybersecurity, and physical security are not aligned
  • Security measures address symptoms rather than root causes

In Short: What is Cross-Domain Risk & Resilience?

Cross-Domain Risk & Resilience is an integrated approach to managing risks across organizational and technical domains. The objective is to address security, resilience, and compliance requirements holistically and embed them into a consistent enterprise-wide strategy.
  • This approach brings together multiple perspectives:
  • Cybersecurity (IT & OT)
  • Business continuity and operational resilience
  • Governance and risk management
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Physical security and critical infrastructure
  • It is aligned with established standards and frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001 and IEC 62443, as well as European digital regulations. The result is an integrated security and resilience architecture that enhances transparency, clarifies responsibilities, and strengthens organizational resilience against cyber, operational, and systemic risks.
