Prove Your Notification Chains Work Before the Real Emergency Tests Them.

Aurora integrates with your existing paging and messaging stack: PagerDuty, Vonage, Zoom, and others. It documents the plans, fires drill notifications through those channels, and logs every acknowledgment and escalation regardless of which channel delivered it.

Drill participation logs and response-time metrics map directly to the control requirements auditors and insurers check. When a reviewer asks for proof that out-of-band communication has been tested, you export the evidence in one click rather than assembling it from email threads.

Most frameworks expect at least annual testing, but quarterly drills give you enough data points to spot response-time trends and fix channel gaps before they become audit findings. Aurora tracks drill cadence so you never fall behind schedule.

Yes. Acknowledgment metrics break down by team, channel, and drill cycle. You can compare SMS versus voice versus chat response speed, identify which channels consistently miss sub-5-minute targets, and adjust escalation rules based on real performance data.

Drills simulate real escalation conditions. If a primary contact does not acknowledge within the timeout window, the notification automatically escalates to the backup chain. The drill log captures every tier that fired, so you see exactly where the path held and where it broke.

Emergency Communications focuses on notification chains, communication drills, and acknowledgment timing. Incident Readiness & Response covers the broader IR lifecycle: runbooks, role assignments, tabletop exercises, and post-incident follow-ups. The two modules complement each other. Tested communication is one input into a complete IR program.
