Risk to data and compute is physical. Decision-makers need to see where their primary and backup sites sit relative to conflict zones and recent incidents, not just read a score.

Conflict and Infrastructure Risk Map
An interactive map that plots danger hotspots, recent infrastructure incidents, and every major cloud region against an organization's own sites.
A linkable map page with toggles for hotspot regions, sourced incidents (strikes, cable cuts, fires, and grid outages), and AWS and Google Cloud regions colored by risk tier. Users can mark a primary and backup site and share a link that carries their own view.
All map data sits in one data file, so updates are a single edit. Every incident links to its source and carries a Verified or Claim label.
- [Analysis] Physically separating a backup from the primary site only helps if the backup is outside the same risk tier.
- [Analysis] Keeping incident data current is the hard part; the value is in the update discipline, not the map itself.
