  • Findings
  • Recurring risk
  • Improvement plan

Operating Model

Agree the support model before the incident

247 works best when coverage, escalation paths, platform context, and reporting are agreed before the pressure starts.

Before an incident

Agree coverage, escalation paths, platform context, and response expectations so support is ready before the pressure arrives.

  • Coverage scope
  • Escalation paths
  • Platform context

During an incident

Specialists support investigation, prioritise likely causes, and advise remediation options while your internal team stays in control.

  • Investigation
  • Remediation advice
  • Decision support

After an incident

Document findings, recurring risks, and prevention opportunities so the same issue is less likely to return.

  • Findings
  • Prevention
  • Risk reduction

Questions

Support for high-risk platforms

Use ICOM 247 when a critical system needs named escalation paths and senior engineering support.

Is 247 only for emergencies?

The main use is rapid specialist support for critical issues, but incident findings can also inform risk reduction and service improvement.

Can support be scaled?

Yes. Coverage can range from defined incident packages, such as 10 incidents per annum, through to unlimited support.

What happens after an incident?

ICOM can provide clear technical findings and recommendations so the same issue is less likely to recur.
