A shared framework for understanding, managing and assuring resilience across the built environment and the services it supports.
Read the definition
A governed, continuously contextualised capability.
TAR connects the state of physical and digital assets across the built environment, infrastructure and connected systems with operating conditions, dependencies, risks and intended functions. It enables organisations to anticipate and withstand impairment, adapt, recover and learn — while maintaining safe, secure, compliant, sustainable and economically viable performance across the asset lifecycle.
The asset-supported function is the starting point: what must continue, what it depends on and what evidence demonstrates resilience.
Identify the intended function, consider its physical and digital dependencies, then relate action and evidence to the required outcome.
Hospitals, campuses, laboratories and data centres.
Production, energy, water and wastewater systems.
Roads, rail, bridges, ports, airports and fleets.
Controls, telecommunications and systems of systems.
The capabilities link asset context, dependencies, decisions and evidence. They operate together across the asset lifecycle.
Know the asset and the conditions around it.
Connect the physical and digital picture.
Understand what relies on what.
Consider consequences together.
Explore change before it happens.
Turn understanding into accountable action.
Check the result. Improve the next decision.
Build trust into the way information is used.
Six outcome domains connect operational effectiveness, protection and lifecycle value.

Access framework resourcesThe framework needs to reflect how assets and services operate in practice. Your experience can help clarify its scope, identify capability gaps and connect resilience outcomes with decisions across industry.
The public survey explores asset environments, disruption, current systems, investment priorities and terminology. Contributions from asset owners and operators, industry specialists, researchers and other stakeholders will inform the development of TAR.
