ResiPlan vs Everbridge
Everbridge is the global reference for Critical Event Management (CEM) and mass notification. ResiPlan covers a different scope: deep ISO 22301 BCMS, 36 risk methodologies, native CRA, DORA/NIS2 — with an integrated ResiGuard Android app.
What Everbridge does well
Mass notification leader
Everbridge is the undisputed leader for Critical Event Management (CEM) — mass notifications, emergency alerts, multi-channel delivery (SMS, voice, push, email). Used by 6,000+ organizations globally.
Risk intelligence + threat feeds
Strong integrated risk intelligence (threat feeds, geopolitical events, weather) that triggers automated alerts and protocols. Useful for travel risk and supply chain visibility.
Mature mobile apps for citizen + employee
Dedicated mobile apps for employees, residents, travelers — safety check-ins, SOS, geolocation. Field-tested at scale in government and large enterprises.
Where ResiPlan wins
Real BCMS ISO 22301 (Everbridge is CEM-first)
Everbridge acquired BCMS capabilities but the core DNA is alerting. ResiPlan delivers 8 preconfigured plan types (BCP/BRP/DRP/IRP/ERP/CMP/CCP/SRP), deep BIA engine, cascade analysis, reflex cards — BCMS that fits ISO 22301 clause by clause.
Native CRA (2024/2847) module
SBOM (CycloneDX/SPDX), CVD workflow with RFC 9116 security.txt, Annex I self-assessment, market surveillance. Everbridge does not address CRA product security obligations.
36 risk methodologies vs Everbridge's risk intel
FAIR, ISO 27005, EBIOS RM, Bow-Tie, Monte Carlo, NIST 800-30, OCTAVE. Everbridge Risk Intelligence is excellent for threat awareness but doesn't provide quantitative risk analysis (FAIR, Monte Carlo) or methodological frameworks.
Crisis Gaming with AI injections
40+ tabletop scenarios, real-time AI injections, decision scoring, auto-debrief. Everbridge has exercise features but no AI-driven tabletop engine, no auto-RETEX.
DORA Art. 5–25 + NIS2 Annex I native
ResiPlan ships EU regulatory mappings turnkey. Everbridge is strong on CEM frameworks but DORA Art. 5–25 and NIS2 Art. 21 mappings are not native.
Android companion app + deep BCMS integration
ResiGuard Android app with offline access to plans, reflex cards, incident declaration. Everbridge mobile apps are strong for alerting but not for accessing a full BCMS library offline.
Mass notification integrated with BCMS (not a separate tool)
ResiPlan ships a 7-channel alerting module (SMS, voice, email, push, Slack, Teams, WhatsApp) triggered directly from incidents, plans or exercises — with safety check-in, auto-escalation, GDPR consent per channel and EU hosting. Everbridge remains the reference for very-large-scale citizen alerting, but for a 50-5,000 employee EU enterprise, paying two tools to do adjacent work is rarely justified.
EU hosting (France/OVH) without negotiation
ResiPlan runs on OVH France by default. Everbridge has EU data centers but residency must be specified; default hosting is US-centric.
Transparent pricing €49–€499/month
Published plans, free 14-day trial. Everbridge is quote-based with typical deals €100K–€500K+/year depending on endpoints, contacts and modules.
AI module optional — deactivable for sensitive sectors
Defense, intelligence, sovereign organizations can disable AI entirely and keep BCMS, 36 methodologies and compliance fully operational. Everbridge AI is woven across CEM workflows.
Side-by-side comparison
| Criterion | ResiPlan | Everbridge |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | BCMS + risk + CRA + exercises, EU | Critical Event Management (CEM), alerting, risk intelligence |
| ISO 22301 BCMS | 8 preconfigured plans, deep BIA | Acquired module, lighter scope |
| Mass notifications | Native 7-channel module + safety check-in + escalation, triggered from BCMS | Undisputed leader (dedicated CEM platform, massively scalable) |
| Risk methodologies | 36 | Risk Intelligence (threats), no quantitative methodologies |
| CRA (EU 2024/2847) | Full native module | Not covered |
| Crisis Gaming / Tabletops | 40+ scenarios, AI injections, scoring, auto-debrief | Basic exercises, no AI tabletop |
| Android mobile app | ResiGuard — plans, reflex cards, offline | Strong apps for alerting, not for BCMS |
| DORA / NIS2 | Full native coverage | Partial via Assure/BCM add-ons |
| Hosting | EU (France, OVH) by default | US by default, EU available |
| Pricing | €49–€499/month published | Quote-based, ~€100K–€500K+/year |
| AI module | Can be disabled for sensitive sectors | Cross-cutting, not deactivable |
| AI BIA generator | Contextual questionnaire in 30s (Claude) | Not covered (no deep BCMS) |
| Cascade simulator (time + €) | 6 layers, time propagation + € cost | Basic impact analysis |
| AI dependency discovery | Claude suggests forgotten dependencies | Not covered |
Choose Everbridge if…
- • You need to alert tens of thousands of people within minutes.
- • Risk Intelligence (threats, weather, geopolitics) is critical for your operations.
- • You manage travel risk + safety check-in at scale.
- • €150K+/year budget isn't a concern.
Choose ResiPlan if…
- • You want a full ISO 22301 BCMS (not just alerting).
- • You're under DORA, NIS2 or CRA (financial, essential operators, vendors).
- • You want 36 risk methodologies + Crisis Gaming included.
- • EU hosting and predictable pricing matter.
Note: Everbridge and ResiPlan are complementary. Many organizations keep Everbridge for critical mass notification and add ResiPlan for BCMS, CRA, DORA and risk methodologies. Webhook / API integrations possible.
Beyond alerting: complete BCMS
Free 14-day trial with ResiGuard Android app included. Can coexist with Everbridge via webhooks.
