Operational Resilience

Workshop overview

Strengthening operational resilience matters, but it is not a 'one and done' set of requirements.

This half-day workshop explores the regulatory regimes for operational resilience in both the UK and EU, so that firms can understand their existing and ongoing obligations to strengthen operational resilience. It focuses on understanding the two regimes, their similarities and differences, and practical means for holistic compliance in a cross-border context.

Firms subject to the UK operational resilience regime should already be familiar with the core rules that took effect from 31 March 2025.

For firms operating in the EU, understanding the similarities and differences with DORA is important to ensure integrated and streamlined compliance, including in areas such as testing, incidents, and third-party risk management. For managing incidents in particular, the incident reporting requirements continue to evolve in the UK. 

Firms must understand both frameworks as they seek to build incident management regimes in the EU under DORA.

Learning outcomes:

• examine the UK and EU regimes to understand key similarities and differences
• understand incident reporting requirements and proposals in the EU and UK, to help inform incident management compliance frameworks
• learn about the different requirements for testing, including scenario testing and penetration testing
• understand the different types of policies that firms need to have in place
• find a solution for contractual requirements and discuss challenges for negotiations
• discuss key compliance challenges, including governance aspects
• explore the regimes for oversight of critical third parties and the potential relevance for firms.
