IN TODAY’S WORLD, RESILIENCE AND CONTINUITY PLANNING can be THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND FAILURE
System issues, cyber security breaches and other incidents have the potential to cause significant operational disruption, impacting customers and creating sharp surges of activity.
Regulators are also focusing on how firms are preventing, adapting and responding to operational disruptions, including plans in place to ensure customers can continue to access vital services after a major issue.
