One successful Vital Process:
Payroll Processing
In times of crisis—whether due to a cyberattack, IT failure, or financial disruption—payroll must not stop. Employees rely on timely salaries, and any delay can cause severe trust and retention issues, operational disruptions, and even legal consequences.
A multinational company used Astran’s AlwaysReady® platform to ensure payroll processing continued uninterrupted, even during a major IT system failure, securing on-time salary payments for thousands of employees worldwide.
Key steps in the process
1
Validate Payroll Data Integrity
Ensure salary, tax, and benefits data is accessible and up to date.
2
Activate Backup Payroll System
Shift payroll processing to a resilient backup infrastructure if primary systems are compromised.
3
Execute Salary Disbursement via Secure Channels
Transfer salaries using predefined emergency payment workflows
4
Ensure Compliance & Tax Filings
Maintain regulatory adherence even during a crisis.
5
Notify Employees & Stakeholders
Provide transparent communication on payroll status and any potential delays.
6
Audit & Record Keeping
Maintain a full compliance log for auditing and future resilience planning.
