Process owners are accountable for applications, vendors, risks and recovery, but that view is usually scattered across procurement lists, IT inventories and continuity plans nobody reconciles. When a vendor fails, a system goes end-of-life or a new third-country transfer appears, the impact should surface at the process, not in a spreadsheet someone forgot to update.
Making process ownership auditable means putting process, application, vendor, risk and BIA in one linked view, with RTO and RPO maintained where the work actually happens.
