Nubus for Business Continuity is a fully prepared, parallel IAM system that remains ready for use in the background and can take over instantly in the event of outages, restrictions, or regulatory risks.
Nubus for Business Continuity

An IAM Outage Quickly Becomes an Outage of the Entire Organization.
Digital processes, specialized procedures, collaboration platforms, and cloud applications rely on a functioning Identity & Access Management.
At the same time, dependency on individual vendors and cloud providers is growing. Political developments, regulatory requirements, service restrictions, or technical disruptions can affect the availability of critical services.
For those responsible for IT, this raises a central question: How do we ensure that our organization remains operational even when the primary IAM system is no longer available?
Anyone who takes digital resilience seriously needs a prepared alternative, not only in the event of a crisis, but already beforehand.
Dependency on Individual Platforms
Many organizations rely on central platforms and cloud services from individual vendors. Changes in availability, licensing models, or regulatory frameworks can have a direct impact on operations, planning reliability, and digital ability to act.
Lack of Preparedness for Emergencies
Many organizations have backup and recovery concepts in place, but no ready-to-use alternative for their Identity & Access Management. In the event of a crisis, this means a central building block for maintaining operations is missing.
Governance, Compliance, and Sovereignty Risks
Rising regulatory requirements and the discussion around digital sovereignty increase the pressure to act. Decision makers need solutions that ensure control, transparency, and long-term independence.
What You Gain with Nubus for Business Continuity
Secure your organization’s ability to act, even in exceptional situations. With a prepared IAM alternative, you reduce operational risks, minimize dependency on individual vendors, and strengthen your position on questions of compliance, governance, and digital sovereignty.
Instead of having to react under time pressure in an emergency, a ready-to-use solution is already available to you. This protects critical business processes, increases organizational resilience, and creates a robust foundation for long-term IT decisions.

Six Capabilities. One Goal: Maintaining Operational Capability in an Emergency.
Activation at the Push of a Button
In the event of a disruption or crisis, Nubus can be activated in a targeted manner to secure access to critical systems and applications.
Seamless Integration into Existing Landscapes
Nubus can be integrated into existing IAM and application landscapes without interrupting ongoing processes.
Continuous Parallel Operation
The system runs permanently in stand-by mode and does not affect the productive operation of the existing IAM.
Controlled IAM Sovereignty
Organizations retain authority over identities, access, and policies, independent of individual platform providers.
Synchronized Identities and Permissions
Users, roles, and access rights are continuously synchronized to ensure a consistent transition in an emergency.
Securing Business Continuity
In the event of a disruption, a fully functional IAM environment is immediately available to maintain critical business processes.
Proven in Sovereign IT and Transformation Projects
Particularly when it comes to critical IT infrastructures, trust is a central decision factor. Nubus is already in use in complex organizations where availability, digital sovereignty, and long-term operational capability are strategically relevant.
Nubus is a key component of openDesk initiatives and is deployed in public sector organizations and government environments as well as in education and IT service infrastructures. It runs on an open source–based foundation that provides a high degree of transparency and is built on a proven IAM architecture with many years of experience supporting complex organizational structures.
Typical Use Cases
- State and municipal administrations with high compliance requirements
- Public sector IT service providers
- Educational institutions and school authorities
- Organizations with a high dependency on Microsoft or cloud
- Companies with a step-by-step open source or sovereignty strategy
No duplicate full costs in parallel operation: Nubus for Business Continuity is provided as a subscription model and only incurs costs when the system is activated in an emergency.
This gives you a predictable safeguard for your IAM landscape without additional investment risks during ongoing operations.
Start with a structured assessment of your IAM dependencies and clarify how a stand-by scenario can be implemented in your organization.
