ERF

Proprietary Methodology

Executive Resilience
Framework (ERF)

The ERF is Altair's proprietary methodology. It is not a technical checklist — it is a business-oriented management framework designed so that CEOs, investors and boards can see clearly and decide with conviction.

Four modules. Applied selectively. Always business-first.

M1
Continuity & Cash
Operational continuity and IT alignment with financial performance. Stabilisation, cost optimisation and single points of failure.
M2
Asset Protection
Protect critical assets and reduce cyber, legal and regulatory exposure. ISO 27001, NIS2, GDPR alignment and cyber risk remediation.
M3
Governance & Risk
Translate technical complexity into executive visibility and better decisions. KPIs, dashboards and governance models for CEO and board.
M4
Transaction & Value
Assess technology risk in M&A and carve-outs. Translate technical findings into investor language: EBITDA, capex, transition risk and value creation.
