Operational-Resilience & Incident-Reporting AI Agent

What this agent does

Watches the clocks, not the decision to notify

An outage begins, and the agent opens one incident record from the monitoring, bridge and ticketing sources.

A first-awareness moment is fixed to a source — a status page, an alert or a person — not to a ticket stamp.

Reason

A threshold is met, and the agent shows which limb of 12 CFR 53.2 the facts reach and which they do not.

An officer records the determination, and the 36-hour clock in 12 CFR 53.3 is stamped from that moment.

A DORA classification is made by a named owner; the four-hour and 24-hour clocks in RTS (EU) 2025/301 both run.

Decide

A deadline lands on a Sunday, and no extension is applied — credit institutions are excluded from that relief.

A notification pack is assembled per regime, each against its own threshold — never one template for two.

Out

A later report falls due — intermediate, final, or the certification the executive and the CISO both sign.

Execute write actions only inside the approval boundaries agreed during implementation.

→ Product statement

The officer determines and notifies; a late notice is the bank's breach under 12 CFR 53.3, and the agent's log is evidence in that review.

Example workflow

One event, awareness to notification

AgentHuman

1Event detectedMonitoring alert, incident bridge, service desk or provider notice

2Facts assembledServices affected, first-awareness time, duration and clients touched, each with its source

3Thresholds testedRegime limbs met, limbs unmet, open questions and confidence

4Controls appliedRegime-threshold checks, clock-anchor checks, weekend-extension rules and confidence threshold

No human action required

Stages 1 to 4 run unaided, and no clock is started at any of them — the agent is assembling, and the officer's lane opens at the confidence gate.

5DecisionBranches at the confidence threshold

High confidence

Goes to the resilience officer to determine.

Low confidence

Adds a legal and compliance read first.

Officer determination

The pack is held with its facts, the limbs it meets and the confidence.

Accept · Amend · Send to legal review

Determined — the officer notifies▼

6Incident record updatedOnly where write access and approval policy allow it

7Outcome evaluatedClock anchors, elapsed time to notification, amendments and regulator follow-ups

Amendments

Every officer amendment is counted in the evaluation.

What should not run autonomously

Human approval stays in control

Outside the boundary — human approval required8 items

Notifying the OCC, the Board, the FDIC or any authority.

Determining that a notification incident has occurred.

Classifying an incident as major under DORA.

Signing the NYDFS certification — it takes two names.

Automation boundaryAgent acts unaided

✓Assemble one incident record and stamp what was known when.

✓Track each regime's clock from the event that starts it.

✓Test the record against the configured regime thresholds.

✓Flag what the pack is missing, and hold it for the officer for the named owner.

Any write happens inside the boundaries agreed at implementation, never ahead of the officer.

Approving the impact tolerances or the self-assessment.

Concluding the securities materiality question.

Authorising or disclosing an extortion payment.

Changes to threshold, clock or escalation rules.

01Approved path

The clock starts at determination

No public action has yet been brought for a missed 36-hour notice; the record is the exposure.

02Human review

Send review to the contested calls

Borderline thresholds and low-confidence packs are marked, so the officer's read starts where the argument is.

04Build an evidence trail

The event, the threshold it was measured against and the officer who notified stay on the record.

Integrations

Typical integrations

Five system groups connect to the same agent. Which of them are in scope is decided in discovery.

How Nestack evaluates it

Evaluate the reporting workflow — not only the notice that went out.

Coverage runs the whole depth of the workflow, and every layer is cut by slice.

Surface — the notice the regulator reads

Depth of coverage ▼

E1Final-output evaluationDid every fact in the pack match the incident record?

E2Step-level evaluationDid the agent use the right regime, threshold and clock anchor?

E3Tool evaluationDid it read the correct incident and the correct source system?

E4Confidence calibrationDo low-confidence packs actually attract more officer amendments?

E5Slice evaluationHow does performance change across specific reporting duties?

E6Business outcomeHow many packs needed an officer amendment or a later correction?

Affected slices

A late notification is never evenly spread

A group-level on-time rate is set by the regime with the longest clock, while the shortest clocks carry the misses. Nestack reports the late-notification rate by regime, not only in total.

Slice performance — reported separately, not only in aggregateIllustrative example

Slice	Failure rate	Lift	Status
DORA initial notification	8.9%	3.9×	Review
Extortion-payment notice	6.3%	2.7×	Review
NYDFS 72-hour notice	4.2%	1.8×	Watch

Evidence-linked improvement

Each cycle closes with a new clock case

A cycle is done when the missed notification has become a case the next release must pass. That suite is what the next event worked is measured against.

Improvement cycle · five stagesSwitchback — the path turns at Improve and returns at Learn

01Detect

Late notifications rise in one regime.

02Diagnose

The outage where nobody could say when the bank decided it counted is traced back to one cause — a determination made verbally at 02:40.

03Improve

Stamp the change; the events behind it are filed against that number.

04Verify

Each touched case is run once more, and one red holds the release back.

05Learn

It stays as a standing test, and the threshold rules move with it.

Learn → DetectThe return edge. The next detection runs against a suite one clock case longer.

Phases sit on elapsed weeks rather than on slide space, which is why week 5 legitimately carries two.
